Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore Finns’ labor market development predictions for the next ten years and shed light on preferred policy responses to the digital economy. Design/methodology/approach Nationally representative survey data employed in this paper were collected in autumn 2017. The data collection utilized a multiphase sampling, and the interviews (n=1004) were carried out on telephone to minimize selection-bias and produce demographically balanced data. Findings Over two-thirds (71 percent) of Finns do not expect technological unemployment to constitute a permanent problem in the digital economy. Nevertheless, 74 percent assume that technological unemployment will increase at least temporarily. A considerable majority (85 percent) also believe that future jobs will be more precarious. Younger generations, despite their currently weak position in the labor market, are surprisingly more optimistic in their predictions. Analysis of preferred policy responses support this paper’s main thesis that the Finnish view on the future of work is rather optimistic: education reforms and streamlining the current social security gather dedicated support, whereas more unconventional ideas such as basic income or work-sharing remain contested. Originality/value To predict possible barriers to labor mobility stemming from digital economy discourses and to anticipate possible political fluctuations, studies on the public view are needed. This research aims to provide a solid framework for further comparative explorations of the public view.

The Impact

Abstract Objectives. Technological, sociopolitical and environmental forces are changing the working world and creating conditions that could be disadvantageous to young adults with disabilities. Our study aims to examine the thoughts and perceptions held by young adults with disabilities regarding the future of work.Methods. One-on-one semi-structured interviews with Canadian young adult (ages 18-35 years) with a disability were conducted. Participants were asked questions on their thoughts and perceptions regarding the impact the changing nature and availability of work on their labor market involvement and career aspirations. Themes that emerged from the data were inductively examined. Results. Twenty-two young adults were interviewed of which just over half were employed full-time. Career aspirations and work-related decisions were primarily shaped by a participant’s health needs. Aspects of the future of work were seen as a more proximal determinants to employment. Digital technologies were expected to impact working conditions for people with disabilities and create barriers and facilitators to employment. Participant who were securely employed held positive expectations regarding the impact of digital technology on their work. Conversely, participants working precariously held negative appraisals regarding the impact of digital technologies on employment opportunities.Conclusions. Initiatives that support labor market engagement of young adults with disabilities should consider changes in the future of work and emerging health needs while also accounting for the availability of secure work arrangements.

The Future

I conduct a survey experiment to test how individuals' preferences for redistributive policies respond to news of their vulnerability to an automation-induced labor market shock. As respondents feel more vulnerable, their preferences for redistributive policies remain constant or decline. However, introducing rhetoric that causes respondents to view automation-induced inequality as unfair increases preferences for several redistributive policies. The effects are pronounced among more-educated respondents - a group expected to increasingly be affected by automation in future. This suggests that, going forward, rhetoric may become increasingly influential in terms of the political viability of a redistributive policy response to automation going forward

The future of labor market depends upon several factors, long-term innovation and the demographic developments. However, one of the main drivers of technological change in the future is digitalization and central to this development is the production and use of digital logic circuits and its derived technologies, including the computer,the smart phone and the Internet. Especially, smart automation will perhaps not cause e.g.regarding industries, occupations, skills, tasks and duties
