Explore the changing landscape of work with The Digital Transformation of Labor: Automation, the Gig Economy and Welfare. Part of the Routledge Studies in Labour Economics series, this book investigates how digitalization impacts the autonomy of labor functions and the creation of new job opportunities within the modern market. Built upon the foundation of a 2016 OECD report regarding the future of labor, this text examines the winners and losers of the digital age. It looks closely at which groups benefit from technological shifts and which workers face increased risks. This is an essential resource for understanding how automation and the gig economy reshape economic structures and welfare systems.
