description The labour market is constantly changing due to the development of technology. Technology is expanding as the need for data processing, analysis, and use increases. Technology not only becomes more skilled than man, but also urges him to live faster. Technology makes economic processes easier and faster. The human resource will assume the role of orchestrator of technology, but in order to do so, it must be available to learn permanently. The case study will focus on describing the main benefits of continuous learning for the workforce. For employees, the accumulation of new knowledge gives them the opportunity to improve their skills. For the unemployed, continuous learning gives them the opportunity to get hired. Therefore, we will identify whether employees are more interested in continuous learning. Additionally, we will identify whether the occupation that employees have influences the rate of participation in continuous learning. As the labour market is placed in the context of industrialisation 4.0, it is necessary to talk about continuous learning in the direction of digitalisation. In the digital economy, it is important that the workforce has at least a basic knowledge of technology in order to keep their job. Technological unemployment occurs precisely because the human resource is exceeded by the new demands of the workplace. Thus, we will identify the level of digitisation at the European level but also the way in which the population has acquired digital skills. We will also highlight the fact that the share of people with ICT skills and knowledge is higher in the case of employees than in the case of the unemployed. The purpose of the paper is to present comparatively the benefits that continuous learning has for both a person who already has a job and a person without a job, but also the impact that the industrial revolution 4.0 has on continuous learning.
