Subject: Duly Noted: The Future of Work
Over the last 50 years, globalization, aging populations, and technological innovation have redefined labor. Can advanced countries adapt to increasing competition with lower-paid, less protected workers in developing countries, or will they face chronic unemployment? What will happen when developing-country workers demand better conditions and higher pay, as they have begun to do in China? In a new Focal Point, Project Syndicate contributors consider the future of work. Commentaries include:
Kenneth Rogoff on why technology won't kill jobs
J. Bradford DeLong on structural weakness is developed countries' employment markets
Robert Skidelsky on the effects of inequality on labor practices
