The impact of automation on labour markets: Interactions with Covid-19

This paper explores possible interactions between Covid-19 and labour market trends attributed to the disruption of new technology. It updates a literature review originally prepared for the Parliamentary Future of Work Commission. The report from this session, and its recommendations, can be found on our website.

It is important to note that in this piece, we do not consider impacts on the lived experience of work, such as changes in the application of surveillance technology in the workplace, or moral and philosophical questions about the nature and or purpose of work.
