As a result of the current Coronavirus pandemic and accompanying health and economic crises, certain trends and challenges have already been affecting the European labor market. Automation and digitalization are making rapid advances, artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly prevalent, and insufficient digital skills are posing challenges. Platform workers and other workers with non-standard forms of employment face additional challenges. Many of these changes will outlive the current crisis and generate in turn new challenges, which the EU and Member States will need to address.
