Work as we know it will never be the same. In fact, it already isn’t the same for some people. According to the OECD, 14% of jobs in OECD countries are highly automatable – another 32% of jobs could be substantially changed in how they’re carried out.
Matthew Taylor discusses some ideas on how to extend the social security net to platform workers and how he thinks the general landscape of employment will evolve.

His 2017 review on modern employment, "Good Work”, was commissioned by the UK prime minister.
