Aims of the Course The aim of this course is to critically examine the effects of new technologies and digital transformation on working life, employment structures, work organization, and industrial relations. The course explores how technological developments, including Industry 4.0, artificial intelligence, automation, robotics, big data, and digital platforms, affect labour demand, occupational transformation, skill requirements, working conditions, and inequalities in the labour market. It also aims to enable students to analyse theoretical approaches and current research on technological transformation, evaluate the opportunities and risks it creates for workers and employment relations, and develop evidence-based policy recommendations.
