Say “future of work”, and people often envision robots eating all the jobs. That’s unlikely to happen based on history, but this wave of change may be different. New technologies replace workers and enhance their work; create new jobs and more competition for those opportunities; unbundle tasks from jobs and expand the gig economy. The rise of on-demand consumption and global real-time labour markets is re-shaping the demand for...you. Add up those individual experiences, and you’ve got a new collective reality. Let’s tackle ways to make the economy work for us, instead of us just working the next job.
