Is digitalisation threatening the future of work and welfare?

Drawing on cutting-edge research from the EU-funded project BEYOND 4.0, this major empirical study explores how digital technologies are transforming work and welfare across Europe. Moving beyond speculative forecasts, it offers grounded, multi-level analysis of how automation and AI are reshaping labour markets, skills, production and social policy.

The authors—leading scholars and policy advisors—show that, with the right choices, technology can support inclusive growth in Europe offer stronger welfare systems, and a better future for workers.
