"What we have to make sure of is that, first of all, those jobs are the kind of jobs that at least a section of the population that is in the labor market is willing to do. The second thing we have to make sure of about these jobs is that they are jobs that enjoy the same sense of security and support by the government when there is job loss, including training prospects and potential, just like full-time jobs. We need to provide the same support to those who are not in a full-time type of job that we were contributing before."

"The catch is that adopting these technologies will disrupt the world of work. No less significant than the jobs that will be displaced are the jobs that will change-and those that will be created. New research by the McKinsey Global institute suggests that roughly 15% of the global workforce could be displaced by 2030 in a midpoint scenario, but that the jobs likely created will make up for those lost. There is an important proviso: that economies sustain high economic growth and dynamism, coupled with strong trends that will drive demand for work. Even so, between 75 million to 375 million people globally may need to switch occupational categories by 2030, depending on how quickly automation is adopted."

"The size of the gig economy reveals a lot about the forces affecting the welfare of American workers. In particular, understanding the difference between who chooses to be a gig worker and who is forced to work multiple jobs with no benefits out of necessity will help labor market experts (and employers) design policies for improving job quality and job security while maintaining flexibility. "

" In an era marked by rapid advances in automation and artificial intelligence, new research assesses the jobs lost and jobs gained under different scenarios through 2030. " Ils tentent aussi d'évaluer l'impact de la numérisation sur les salaires, le contenu du travail, la formation...

"According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), about 133m jobs globally could be created with the help of rapid technological advances in the workplace over the next decade, compared with 75m that could be displaced."

"over the past few years, taxi cooperatives have been providing an alternative model for drivers that emphasizes job security and well-being, rather than just profits. Drivers who are part of taxi cooperatives are usually both members and co-owners, which puts them at the center - and gives them a voice in how the cooperative functions."

" Technology adoption can, and often does, cause significant short-term labor displacement, but history shows that in the longer run, it creates a multitude of new jobs and unleashes demand for existing ones, more than offsetting the number of jobs it destroys, even as it raises labor productivity."

"In the area around Barcelona, among the thousands of members of the Catalan Integral Cooperative, I got a glimpse of what twenty-first-century cooperatives might look like. Rather than securing old-fashioned jobs, these independent workers help each other become less dependent on salaries, and more able to rely on the housing, food, childcare, and computer code they hold in common. They trade with their own digital currency. In cases like this, the traditional lines between workers, producers, consumers, and depositors may become harder to draw."

"The new Italian government pushed through its first legislative act including elements of labour market reform. Presented as an overturn of the previous government's "Jobs Act", the estimated effects of the decree are controversial."

"this industry has, until recently, operated largely informally, with jobs secured by word-of-mouth. That's changing, as employers are increasingly turning to Uber-like services to find nannies, housecleaners and other care workers. These new gig economy companies, while making it easier for some people to find short-term work, have created hardships for others, and may leave many experienced care workers behind."

"In this podcast, we examine how technology has affected employment and incomes in manufacturing and other sectors and whether automation could widen the gap between high- and low-income jobs. "

"We are very much in the midst of understanding what sort of process we are going through. We don't even necessarily know what skills are needed for the jobs of the future."

Série d'interview sur quatre questions liées au futur digital du travail : ici, est-ce que le digital va rendre le fait d'aller travailler 8 heures par jour dans un bureau obsolète ?

Pedro da Costa insiste sur l'importance de la formation des travailleurs, pour pouvoir travailler en utilisant les technologies et non en se faisant remplacer par elles, et sur celle des politiques publiques qui doivent accompagner ce changement.

"Notwithstanding that the next wave of innovation will not be unprecedented, there still could be negative impacts that policymakers need to prepare for and seek to mitigate. However, there will also be benefits, something 'fourth industrialists' usually ignore. Most importantly, the next wave will raise productivity growth rates. European productivity has been growing at anaemic rates for years, and in the UK it has virtually ceased. Without productivity growth to create a 'bigger pie' there is no way for European living standards to increase, especially given that the working age to old person ratio will drop from 3.5 today to 2.2 by 2040. But this does not mean that there may not be some negative impacts from the next wave of innovation. However, most of these fears are unwarranted and the main one, job dislocation, can and should be addressed by smart policies."
