CESifo Forum 03/2020: Job Market Boom or Oppressive Change? The Effects of the Digital Transformation on the Workplace and the Labor Market
ifo Institute, Munich, 2020
Digital transformation, triggered by the advances in artificial intelligence, robotics, and the availability of “Big Data”, is leading to rapid changes in economic and production structure. At the same time, it also poses serious challenges for workplaces, business organization, labor markets, and the welfare state. Yet it is not clear whether the digital transformation will ultimately create or destroy more jobs. For this volume of the CESifo Forum we have contacted the best contributors of last year’s CESifo and LINER–AUEB conference on “The Effects of the Digital Transformation on the Workplace and the Labor Market”. They share their latest insights on this topic – including how the Covid-19 crisis has affected the global labor market.
