While most of the effects of digitalisation are unforeseeable, a rise in productivity which would lead to job reductions, at least for a time, is likely. On the other hand, many opportunities will arise for enterprises, employees and the society as a whole. This symposium will address practical and theoretical issues to ensure economic growth in the age of digitalisation. Delegates will have the opportunity to exchange views on the future of workers’ conditions and the necessity to develop digital skills. Furthermore, innovative solutions to prevent negative effects and avoid unemployment will be presented and discussed.
