آزمایشگاه آیندهٔ کار

Work changes when technologies, contracts, skills and institutions change, and research on that change is often loud and weakly identified. This lab studies how automation, platform work, remote work, skills سامانه‌ها and workplace institutions reshape jobs and organisations, with designs that can tell a real effect from a trend. This page sets out the mechanisms, the measures, the data, the methods and the people who decide on the evidence.

02The question

Future of work lab: how the risk develops.

Workforce and institutional change research. The dossier below sets out how the risk develops, what is measured, where the data come from, how it is modelled and who decides.

سازوکار

Tasks change before jobs

Technologies automate or augment specific tasks, not whole occupations. Jobs are rebundled, skill demands shift within roles, and the effect on employment depends on how firms reorganise work around the tool.

سازوکار

Exposure is not impact

Indices of which occupations are exposed to a technology describe potential, not outcome. Adoption, cost, regulation and bargaining decide what happens, so exposure indices need causal evidence before they inform policy.

سازوکار

Institutions mediate change

Collective agreements, training سامانه‌ها, حمایت اجتماعی and labour law shape whether change raises productivity and wages or shifts risk onto workers. The same technology can produce different outcomes under different institutions.

سازوکار

Workplace trials carry power

Experiments inside firms involve employees who may not feel free to refuse. Consent, worker representation, data protection and a real right to opt out decide whether a workplace study is ethical and its results credible.

What is measured, and how well.

Each indicator carries its unit, its cadence, the kind of source behind it and the evidence label a value would carry. No values are shown: a programme supplies them under its own authority.

09Core questions

What experts ask about changing work.

  • Which tasks within an occupation are changing, rather than which jobs disappear?
  • Who bears the costs of transition, by region, age, sex, sector and skill level?
  • Which training, matching and income-support measures actually change outcomes?
  • How do institutions such as schools, unions, employers and public employment services adapt?
  • How do heat, disasters and supply disruptions affect work and safety?
10Mechanisms and drivers

The forces reshaping work.

Economists analyse technological change at the level of tasks. A technology may substitute for some tasks, complement others and create new ones; the net effect on an occupation depends on the mix and on how employers reorganise work. Automation and AI tend to affect routine cognitive and manual tasks first, but recent tools also reach into tasks once thought to require judgement.

Other forces act alongside technology. Ageing populations change labour supply and care needs. Climate change raises heat exposure for outdoor and industrial workers and shifts employment between sectors during energy transitions. Trade and supply-chain disruptions can concentrate job losses in particular places, where the effects persist for years.

Institutions shape outcomes. The same technology can produce very different results depending on training سامانه‌ها, labour law, حمایت اجتماعی and bargaining arrangements.

11Methods and data

Evidence and its limits.

  1. 01

    Task and occupation data

    Classifications of work activities linked to employment data. They lag behind real change and vary between countries.

  2. 02

    Labour force and administrative records

    Surveys and registers tracking employment, earnings and transitions. Access is often restricted and linking sources raises privacy questions.

  3. 03

    ارزیابی اثر

    Randomised and quasi-experimental studies of training and matching programmes using causal inference. Results may not transfer across labour markets.

  4. 04

    Workplace experiments

    Controlled trials of new tools or practices inside organisations, under consent and ethics review.

Forecasts of jobs lost or created are highly sensitive to assumptions and are not presented as predictions. The lab reports scenarios with their assumptions.

14پرسش‌ها

پرسش و پاسخ.

Does exposure to automation mean jobs will be lost?
No. Exposure measures which tasks a technology could perform. Whether employment falls, rises or changes shape depends on adoption, costs, demand and institutions, and needs causal evidence.
Why register a pre-analysis plan for a field experiment?
Labour data offer many outcomes and subgroups. A registered plan fixes which ones test the hypothesis, so a reported effect is not simply the best of many tries.
Can employees refuse to take part in a workplace study?
They should be able to, without consequence. Ethics committees look for genuine voluntariness, independent consent routes and, where relevant, agreement with worker representatives.
Does the lab predict how many jobs will be lost to AI?
No. It studies how tasks change and what helps people adapt. Where scenarios are used, they are presented with their assumptions, not as forecasts.
Can an employer run a workplace trial with the lab?
A trial can be proposed. It proceeds only under a published protocol, with consent from workers and independent ethics review.
How does this lab differ from the Future of Work and Skills platform?
The platform covers the field as a whole; the lab runs experiments and evaluations that feed it.
