Why work and skills needs this combination of methods.
Work and skills research combines economics and econometrics for labour markets, AI and robotics for what technologies can do, and social science for how work and training are experienced. The economic methods estimate what changes; the technology methods say what is technically possible; the social methods test whether either matches experience at work.
Work and skills research combines economics and econometrics with AI and robotics and social science.
Grounding makes claims checkable.
When a finding names the methods it depends on, a reader can see its assumptions and limits, and an expert in that method can challenge it.
