Scan of emerging issues : the changing nature of work.: PH4-159/2016E-PDF

“Over the next 10-15 years the employment reality for most Canadians will evolve rapidly as the digital economy expands and transforms how, when, where and what type of work is done. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, data analytics, virtual telepresence, robotics, sensors and 3D printing are poised to change much of life. The “gig economy” and “sharing economy” are altering delivery of goods and services in unprecedented ways. Canadians’ priorities are also shifting, with younger generations seeking work-life balance and job fulfillment as much as stability and income. These changes will create disruptions in the employment environment, in turn generating many new challenges for social policy and other areas. This scan explores four major changes that Horizons expects will be significant”--p. 1.
