What happens when there is plenty of work available, but not enough people who are able to do it? This lecture explores this phenomenon.
About this Event

Right now, the technological challenge we are most likely to face in the labour market is ‘frictional’ technological unemployment – where there is plenty of work available, but not enough people are able to do it. This lecture explores the phenomenon and its main causes – that people might lack the right skills for the work, not live in the place where the work is created, or have an identity that is at odds with the nature of the work.

A lecture by Professor Daniel Susskind.

This event is also available to watch live online. To register, visit: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/whats-on/out-of-reach
