These changes raise major questions around societal consequences and inequality. Whose jobs will be enhanced by technology and whose will be lost? How does technological change at the workplace impact wellbeing? What implications does remote work have for the work-family interface? Does it present opportunities for regional and global development? How are people from different genders, ethnic groups, generations, and social classes affected? What policies are being proposed to shape work futures, and what are their effects?
