Social Protection in the Face of Digitalisation and Labour Market Transformations
Social Protection in the Face of Digitalisation and Labour Market Transformations
In this chapter, it is shown how systems analysis can facilitate policy responses to complex labour-market changes, including from digitalisation and technological progress. A simple systems map covering linkages and interactions between technology adoption, alternative work arrangements, wages, and social protection illustrates how qualitative system mapping can provide a holistic perspective and enable a systematic exploration of connections between elements of a complex system. The map illustrates how systems analysis facilitates consideration of the behaviour of a complex system by decomposing it into sub-processes that can be verbally described in a straightforward and relatively simple way.
