Doctors will spend far fewer hours diagnosing patients, accountants will do less maths, and direct instruction and grading will no longer be a major part of teaching, according to a new report.

Most jobs will be almost unrecognisable by 2030, and a new report paints a picture of what a typical day in the office will look like for children who are currently starting primary school.

As technology and artificial intelligence take over manual tasks, people will spend nearly 100 per cent more time in their work week solving problems, 77 per cent more time using maths and science skills and 41 per cent more time on critical thinking, according to the Foundation for Young Australians' (FYA) latest New Work Order report.

Workers in 2030 will need to be far more independent, with predictions that management will be cut by 26 per cent and there will be 14 per cent less organisational coordination.
