Abstract


The Industrial Revolution 4.0, with the advent of AI, IoT, big data, and automation, has fundamentally
changed the landscape of work, replacing many routine jobs while increasing the demand for cognitive,
creative, social, and digital skills. This situation has created a significant skill gap, particularly in
developing countries such as Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the role of economic education in
overcoming career disruption by equipping students with future-proof skills relevant to the demands of
the digital age. This study employs a qualitative method using a literature review approach, analyzing
various secondary sources including scientific journals, books, international agency reports, and recent
publications discussing the future of work, economic education, and 21st-century skills. The findings
reveal that digital disruption is driven by automation, artificial intelligence, and the platform economy.
Economic education plays a crucial role not only in transferring conceptual knowledge—such as digital
financial literacy and understanding of new economic models—but also in developing soft skills like
critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and adaptability. To remain relevant, economic education
must transform by integrating digital technology into curricula, adopting project-based and problembased learning methods (PjBL and PBL), and strengthening character building and ethical values.
Synergy between the government, educational institutions, and industry is essential to create an
education ecosystem responsive to change.
