Description
Is digitalisation threatening the future of work and welfare?
Drawing on cutting-edge research from the EU-funded project BEYOND 4.0, this major empirical study explores how digital technologies are transforming work and welfare across Europe. Moving beyond speculative forecasts, it offers grounded, multi-level analysis of how automation and AI are reshaping labour markets, skills, production and social policy.
The authors--leading scholars and policy advisors--show that, with the right choices, technology can support inclusive growth in Europe offer stronger welfare systems, and a better future for workers.
