Lunch Briefing
Globalisation, Robotics and the Future of Work
Richard Baldwin, Professor of International Economics
Organised with the Centre for Trade and Economic Integration (CTEI)Auditorium A1A
Maison de la paix, Geneva
Globalisation and robotics may make the world better eventually, but today they are creating competition for service-sector workers in advanced economies. This is coming faster than most believe and in ways that few expect. If displaced office workers join with displaced factory workers, the result could be a disruptive upheaval.
Richard Baldwin is Professor of International Economics, Co-Director of the Centre of Trade and Economic Integration at the Graduate Institute, Geneva, and Editor-in-Chief of VoxEU.org since 2006. The author of numerous books and articles, his most recent book is The Globotics Upheaval: Globalization, Robotics and the Future of Work, to be published in January 2019.
