Description
Summary:Automation and a Changing Economy: Policies for Shared Prosperity outlines a policy agenda for addressing these challenges and opportunities. Doing so requires an all-of-the-above approach, from targeted, specialized interventions to those with systems-level impact; from place-based policies to national-level reforms to safety net programs. The paper identifies four objectives that guide its recommendations: (1) encourage employers to lead a human-centric approach to automation; (2) enable workers to access skills training, good jobs,and new economic opportunities; (3) help people and communities recover from displacements; and (4) understand the impact of automation on the workforce.
