The financial service sector ecosystem generally includes the infrastructures, the providers, the users, and the regulatory environment. Furthermore, many banks, investment funds, insurance companies as well as their workers and managers are also included.
However, crowdfunding platforms, Robo Advisers along with technical experts have been changing the business sector. Also, the way all the users access the work environment and the services are dependent on the business models which have been changed too.
Therefore, Digitalization has helped in creating job opportunities with the inclusion of helping to choose a successful divide of finances. This has been proposed both within the countries as well as across the world.
ILO is involved in advancing the labor skills in the labor market by making it more organized yet flexible working arrangements. However, unfortunately, the risks of job elimination are high in this sector.
This led the issues in emerging work life, psychological health, and the privacy risks attached to data protection. Moreover, the financial crisis hit the world very badly during the Pandemic era of COVID-19.
Additionally, the Pandemic has given rise to talent shortages as well as created gaps in the capabilities of skilled individuals and groups.
The criticality of the financial sector is such that it provided support for digital payments and businesses. Furthermore, it has accelerated the digitalization of the work processes in producing task automation.
