Social policies for the digital age, by University of Konstanz

 

 Respondents across all countries expect automation and digitalization to transform their workplace positively, with 50+ percent majorities expecting

a better work-life balance,
a reduction of physical demands and dangers,
and a less tedious and stressful array of everyday tasks.

In Germany, however, the expectations are not quite as positive, with results for these questions more than ten percent lower than the international average.

At the same time, many respondents around the world are also fearful about

losing their jobs to machines, robots, or algorithms.

Figures vary widely across countries, with Turkish (64.9 percent) and Korean (65.5 percent) workers most often expressing fears that the likelihood of being replaced is "high" or "very high", while only 21.5 percent of Austrian and 27.5 percent of German workers share these worries.
