The Future of Employment: Assessing the Impact of Digitalisation on Work
Mittwoch, 04. September 2019 - Mittwoch, 04. September 2019, 10:00 - 16:30
Ort: Brüssel

"Digitalisation and robotics are drastically reshaping work. Development in ICT, artificial intelligence and robotics will generate new conditions for employment and have unpredictable impact on job creation and destruction. Although such technological evolution is not new, the risk resides in the fact that, as for previous industrial revolutions, economic contraction usually follows. The rapid rise of the on-demand economy, not yet included in official statistics, and the spread of platforms is a concrete impact of this revolution (CEPS & European Economic and Social Committee, 2017).

While most of the effects of digitalisation are unforeseeable, a rise in productivity which would lead to job reductions, at least for a time, is likely. On the other hand, many opportunities will arise for enterprises, employees and the society as a whole. This symposium will address practical and theoretical issues to ensure economic growth in the age of digitalisation. Delegates will have the opportunity to exchange views on the future of workers’ conditions and the necessity to develop digital skills. Furthermore, innovative solutions to prevent negative effects and avoid unemployment will be presented and discussed."
