Abstract

This chapter sets the scene for the report by discussing the impact that the digital transition is having on labour markets. The chapter discusses previous empirical evidence that looked into the adoption of digital technologies in jobs and how the adoption of new technologies is reshaping labour market and skill demands. The chapter also briefly reviews the available evidence, produced using online job postings, on the impact of COVID‑19 on labour market trends in light of the surge of teleworking. Finally, the chapter discusses some of the most prominent studies that have analysed the impact of digitalisation on the risk of automation and, in turn, on labour markets and employability of workers of all skill levels.
