13 The Future of Work


Question

Explain the optimistic view on the future of work


Answer

-> Technological change will merely change work

  • Many technological changes in the past have met with fear and resistance
  • In the past, new technologies have made some jobs obsolete, but they have also entailed new, and typically better jobs
  • Despite fears and uncertainties about the future, there may be a continuation of this trend - that is, technological advances will create new jobs that replace obsolete ones and the standard of living for most will continue to rise
