About this title

Synopsis

This timely book examines three impactful changes to the labour market in recent decades: the rapid automation of production processes, surging international trade, and greater cross-border mobility and migration of workers. Expert authors assess how workers have benefited and suffered from these shifts and provide policymakers with recommendations on how to reduce inequality while securing economic benefits.

Contributors analyse individual transformations and their interaction with the broader sociopolitical landscape, incorporating both macroeconomic and microeconomic perspectives. They use an interdisciplinary approach to explore the consequences of technological advancements on labour markets, such as automation, digital platforms and artificial intelligence. Chapters also address rising inequality and the divide between skilled and unskilled labour, and the uneven impacts of globalisation that prevent the diversification of economies. Ultimately, the book outlines the need for innovation and a restructuring of systems to ensure a resilient future where talent and skills are not squandered, and potential challenges can be successfully overcome.

Technology, Globalisation and Migration is a vital read for scholars and students of economics and finance, innovation and technology, development studies, and sociology. Policymakers and practitioners working in labour market regulation will also benefit from its practical and theoretical insights.
