Summary

With technologies advancing at a rapid pace, research exploring the potential impact of technologies on work (see Frey & Osborne, 2013, 2017) sparked widespread interest in the topic. This chapter reviews the emerging future-of-work domain with a focus on research efforts and key trends. This includes an overview of key future-of-work concepts, a brief review of historical examples of technological job disruption concerns, an exploration of the technological forces driving current work changes, a review of studies exploring the potential for automation, and an overview of opportunities for understanding and shaping the future of work.
