Stijn Broecke: Automation and the future of work - a podcast by Justin Ahn

"I think the future holds a tremendous amount of promise. We just need to make sure that no one's left behind," says Stijn Broecke, Senior Labor Economist at the OECD Future of Work Initiative.

The Automation Revolution (or Fourth Industrial Revolution) is taking over a variety of human tasks. According to the OECD, 14% of jobs are at high risk of disappearing due to automation, while another third will be heavily affected. This episode explores responses to this development, from education and training to corporate regulation to creating a stronger social safety net. Stijn helps shift this conversation from existential musings to a practical set of steps for countries and governments to follow.
