Structural Transformation in the Age of Digitalisation and AI: Labour Market Shifts and the Politics of Inclusion
Digitalisation and AI are fundamentally reshaping global labour markets. While macroeconomic impacts are well-documented, the role of subnational actors-city governments, regional governments, and others- in mediating these shifts remains under-researched. This project investigates how digitalisation and AI influence labour structures and evaluates subnational policy responses to mitigate displacement and foster inclusion through adaptive skill-building and localised initiatives.
