Labour Economics Conference 2024: Focus on AI and the Future of Work

AI's Impact on Job Creation and Displacement

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the world of work, and labour economists are closely studying its impact on job creation and displacement. At the upcoming Labour Economics Conference 2024, researchers will present new findings on how AI is affecting different industries and occupations.

Key Questions to be Explored:

* Which industries and occupations are most likely to see job losses due to AI? * What new jobs are being created by AI, and what skills are needed to fill them? * How can we prepare workers for the changing job market?

The Future of Work and the Gig Economy

The rise of the gig economy is another major trend that will be discussed at the Labour Economics Conference 2024. Gig workers are independent contractors who typically work on a short-term basis, often through online platforms. This shift towards more flexible work arrangements has implications for workers' wages, benefits, and job security.

What the Experts Say:

"The gig economy is creating new opportunities for workers, but it also raises concerns about the erosion of traditional labour protections," says Dr. Emily Smith, a labour economist at the University of California, Berkeley. "We need to find ways to ensure that gig workers have access to fair wages, benefits, and job security."

Policy Recommendations for the Future of Work

In addition to discussing the latest research on AI and the future of work, the Labour Economics Conference 2024 will also consider policy recommendations for addressing the challenges and opportunities presented by these trends.

Key Policy Issues:

* How can we promote the creation of new jobs and reduce job losses due to AI? * What policies are needed to support workers in the gig economy? * How can we ensure that workers have the skills they need to succeed in the changing job market?
