A book by Prof. Kamilla Marchewka-Bartkowiak and Prof. Beata Woźniak-Jęchorek entitled "Digital Labour Markets in Central and Eastern European Countries: COVID-19 and the Future of Work." was published by Routledge.
The book analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and accelerated digitalization on the changing labor markets of Central European countries. The book argues that the recent pandemicwas a sombre reminder of the relevance and necessity of digital technology for a variety of sectors and market activities. It concludes that to downside the risks of vanishing jobs, as well as to minimise the threats and maximise the opportunities of digitalisation in CEE countries, labour market partners need to consider an effective governance tool in terms of inclusive access to the digital environment, re-skilling, and balanced regulations of the more problematic facets of digital work.
The 300-point monograph was written in a collaboration with 34 researchers and labor market experts from: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Ireland, Germany, Poland, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia, who describe the changes taking place in the labor market under the impact of the pandemic, as well as identify the challenges facing post-pandemic digital labor markets.
The book was prepared within the framework of a project funded by the program of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education called "Regional Initiative of Excellence" in 2019-2023, project number 004/RID/2018/19.
