Hundreds of millions of people around the world are out of a job or unable to make a living. Many are now part of the approximately 3.4 billion people (just under half the human population) that struggle to meet their basic needs without assistance. Extreme poverty was on a path of steady reduction in most countries and this was projected to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/blog\/future-development\/2020\/10\/21\/the-impact-of-covid-19-on-global-extreme-poverty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">continue<\/a> in the short to medium term at least. This trend has now been reversed, with hundreds of millions more people likely to face this peril in the next few years.<\/p>\n<p>The recovery of the global economy is expected to be slow and many industries will never be the same again. With infection rates increasing in much of the world, more lockdowns on the horizon and multiple months to wait before vaccines are ready and can be rolled out to the general population, simply holding out is not an option.

Even if you don&#8217;t have much cash to invest, there are businesses that cost virtually nothing to get going. You could make and sell clothing, jewelry or other artisanal\/homemade goods. You could even plant a veggie garden and try to sell some produce at a local market or co-op.

As humanity has \nadvanced technologically, jobs and the people that do them have become \nmore specialized. Today, the outlook for the job market and world \neconomy is as bleak as it&#8217;s been since the great depression. It&#8217;s \nprobably fair to say that there has never been a more important time to \nhave a varied mix of skills and abilities. One way to do this is taking \ncourses that help you to broaden your professional horizons. While some \nindustries crumble, others march towards a bright future. Anything that \ninterests you and can be done online is a good starting point. It&#8217;s also\n estimated that there will be over 20 million &#8216;green&#8217; jobs created in \nthe next decade. If you&#8217;re in an industry that has an uncertain future, \nthis is the moment to re-tool yourself for the post-pandemic green \neconomy.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to future proof your life is by learning practical skills\n that will help you to be more self sufficient, both now and in the face\n of other serious catastrophes. Using permaculture principals, it&#8217;s \npossible to grow enough food year round for 2-3 families in one small \ngarden. You could learn to make your own furniture, clothes or household\n &amp; hygiene products. YouTube is the greatest DIY tool in the history\n of mankind. With the internet, books and the the majority of knowledge \nhumanity has ever collected right at your fingertips, there is little \nyou can&#8217;t do. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d1f534 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1d1f534\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/focusme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Future-proof-jobs-1024x691.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-182900\" alt=\"Future proof jobs\" srcset=\"https:\/\/focusme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Future-proof-jobs-1024x691.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/focusme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Future-proof-jobs-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/focusme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Future-proof-jobs-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/focusme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Future-proof-jobs-1536x1036.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/focusme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Future-proof-jobs-1000x674.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/focusme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Future-proof-jobs.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac9bf44 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"ac9bf44\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db70f06 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"db70f06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-xl\">Other ideas for adapting to the 'new normal' for work<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b2aa580 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b2aa580\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Different situations call for different forms of adaption.
