The challenges of regulating for a brave new world

Gordon Anderson (), Douglas Brodie () and Joellen Riley ()

Chapter 2 in Employment Law for a Brave New World, 2025, pp 7-29 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter discusses the range of challenges that employment law is likely to face over the next two to three decades as it adjusts to regulating a rapidly changing world of work. In particular, the chapter looks at the challenges to be faced as a result of the electronic revolution and the consequences for worker surveillance and workplace management, the challenges in adjusting the law to respond to shifting modes of employment and the changing character of the labour force. The chapter asks whether the regulatory institutions and structures that have characterised labour law since the middle of the last century provide the necessary tools to ensure effective worker protection and worker voice in the coming decades.
