Industry 4.0: An Evolving Social Contract for Economies Under Rapid Change
Industrial automation is forecast to entail the loss of approximately 40% of jobs over the next 20 years; the first to be abolished will be low-paying jobs in the production sector. Meanwhile, competitive pressure will not allow business leaders to ignore the benefits of digitalization and automation. What decisions should be made to prepare for the coming revolutionary transformations on the labour market? What steps should be taken to prevent aggravation of income inequality? How is the labour market employment structure going to change? Will self-employment solve the employment problem?
