A chapter in Managing Work in the Digital Economy, 2021, pp 99-110 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The fourth industrial revolution that is unfolding right now fundamentally changes the way we organize work and it is not clear which direction these developments will take. Therefore, this chapter starts out with two scenarios of how working might look in 2030. From the viewpoint of those delivering the work, their working and living conditions can change for the better or the worse now. This situation is not new though as society has faced with similar challenges in the industrial revolutions before and has developed solutions in the form of worker associations, collective bargaining, social dialogue, protective labor laws, and social security. This chapter argues that these institutions still matter but have to be adopted to make sure that the fruits of increased productivity are spread evenly between everybody concerned.
