Digital and ecological transformation

The digital transformation with its impact on the world of employment remains one of the most discussed issues in labour market politics and science, as well as in the general public. Along with the digital transformation, the mitigation of the climate change, the conservation of biodiversity, and the preservation of natural resources constitute the major social challenges worldwide. The IAB also focuses its attention on the ecological transformation towards a low-carbon, environmentally friendly economy and subsequently its impact on the labour market.

In addition to this, labour market effects of "double transformation" are of particular interest to the working group. This term implies the necessity of handling both digitalization and decarbonization at the same time.
