Recent technological progress speeds up changes in the nature of work. The tasks that we perform at work have changed, and they require different skills. The consequences of the accelerated changes in the nature of work affect employers, who introduce new technologies, and workers, who have to adapt to the new demands. The effects are also felt by governments whose role is to support the absorption of new technologies, on the one hand, and to mitigate the negative consequences of rapid changes in the labour market, on the other hand. Therefore, it is important to understand how technological progress impacts changes in the nature of work.
