This report from the Institute for the Future of Work explores the impacts of automation on work and wellbeing and how they are differently distributed between socio-demographic groups and geographical communities in the UK. The report aims to build a better future of work through an improved understanding of the impacts of automation on work, society and the economy. It takes a multi-disciplinary approach to examine how, and to what extent, workers are exposed to market ‘frictions’ related to their skills, location and information about the changing world of work.
