Between 2024 and 2028, Brazil's ICT employment is projected to see fluctuations from growth to a decline. In 2024, anticipated employment growth in the ICT sector is 0.36%. This growth will slow down to 0.14% in 2025. However, beginning in 2026, the sector is expected to shrink, with a decrease of 0.081%, further contracting by 0.3% in 2027, and significantly dropping by 0.52% in 2028. This shift from a growth phase to a decline indicates potential structural issues within the sector or economic challenges impacting employment.
The overarching trend over these forecasted years suggests potential reasons for a downshift in the ICT sector, such as evolving technology, market saturation, or economic downturns. Stakeholders should pay attention to:
- Disruptive technological advancements that might replace conventional ICT roles.
- Government policies impacting the sector.
- Global economic trends potentially influencing local ICT employment.
