Automation and Jobs in Europe: How Workers View the Future of Work

IMF published this video item, entitled “Automation and Jobs in Europe: How Workers View the Future of Work” – below is their description.

We will discuss the connection between robotization, employment rates, and workers’ views about the future of work. Using real data, we will show a positive association between robot penetration and job creation in Europe. Using survey information from workers in advanced and emerging countries, we will also cover how employees’ ages, education, income, and job security affect their sentiment toward robots. And perhaps the most important question: how workers think they can prepare for the future of work? #IMFmeetings http://www.fundbankmeetings.org

In This Story: Future of Work

Since the Industrial Revolution, the Future of Work has been a topic which has consumed many thinkers; latterly, since the mid-late 2000s, this subject has intensified, as the world moves to an increasingly global, digital economy.

Some recurring themes include employment versus contracting – the Gig Economy – as exemplified by companies like Uber; flexible working hours; and Working From Home (WFH), a concept which gathered pace rapidly during the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic of 2020 and beyond.

Such topics are broadly described as “Future of Work”.
