Beschreibung
Change in the world of work, be it in the form of digitalisation or other, is
often discussed in broad terms of possible losses of jobs or huge restructurings
of whole branches. Seldom do we look at what workers actually do at
their workplaces – and how. But obviously technological change will affect
the things we work with, our work tools.
This reader combines empirically grounded insights into how changes
in work tools affect our work and how we react to it. In this sense it is a
“hands-on” approach to fi nd out more about the impacts digitalisation
might have on qualifi cation and the labour market. Work tools can be used
to link analytical perspectives to investigate the effects of digitalisation
on workplaces and employment, to understand the demand for specifi c
competences within occupations and also to arrive at a workspace-specifi c
understanding of said changes.
