Consequently, good vocational education and skills are no longer a strong guarantee for decent employment in the present and future. In the long term, the middle class released may lose demand in the labor market, which will lead to polarization of income, increase of inequality and reduce the dominance of the middle class in the structure of society as a basis for stability.
