Lewis Silkin Partner James Davies has written a report for the Future of Work Hub ‘2050: Too Few Jobs?’. The report explores a question being asked more and more often: are we heading for a future with too few jobs and, if so, what can we do about it? Looking ahead to 2050 and the 24 years in between, it examines the two forces most likely to decide the answer, technology and geopolitics, and what happens when they collide.
In the report, James identifies the "Jobs Automation Paradox". The very technology that threatens to destroy jobs is also the one most likely to deliver the economic growth that creates them. He also sets out the steps policymakers, educators, employers, trade unions and individuals need to take now.
What's inside
- Where the economy and labour market stand today
- How technology and geopolitics are transforming work
- What happens when technology and geopolitics collide
- Why human work might persist, and the barriers facing AI
- How to prepare for the transition, and for the possibility of too few jobs by 2050
The threat of a future with too few jobs is greater now than it was three years ago. Download the report below to find out what that means for your organisation, and what we can all do to prepare.
