Work in the Age of Data

Delivering sustainable economic growth
Feb 22, 2020 | BBVA Open Mind, Zia Qureshi

Although digital technologies are reshaping the world of business and work in profound ways, policies have been slow to adapt. Zia Qureshi notes in this article for BBVA Open Mind that the interaction between technological change and market conditions in the prevailing policy environment has driven income inequality higher in almost all major advanced economies since the 1980s. Disruptions since caused by technological change have added to business and worker anxieties. A more unequal distribution of income, however, is not an inevitable consequence of a digitizing world. Outcomes that are more inclusive are possible with more thoughtful and responsive policies.
