Demography, unemployment, and automation: Challenges in creating (decent) jobs until 2030

a column by David Bloom, Mathew McKenna and Klaus Prettner for VOX: CEPR’s Policy Portal

Future global employment needs are of central importance for policymakers.

This column estimates that, based on growth in the working-age population, labour force participation rates, and unemployment, about three quarters of a billion jobs will need to be created in 2010–2030.

It also discusses how automation will add to the number of jobs required.
