I personally know a colleague who deliberately drove into a tree at 40miles per hour. He wanted to end his life. He wore seatbelt. Car was totalled. He walked away without a scratch.

Later (almost immediately) consulted a psychiatrist and went on to have a decent life. This was 19years ago.

Seat belts and airbags SAVE LIVES.

Our cover story in Asia this week is India's baby bust. Fertility rates are falling remarkably fast across the country-- in several states women are now having the same number of children as those in Scandinavia. That means we should think differently about India's future:

A major talking point for those who think AI will cause mass unemployment is the recent slowdown in junior-level hiring. Lambert and Schindler, in this new working paper, point to a different culprit: work from home policies.

Using data on ~250 million hires across four countries,they show that AI exposure strongly correlates with a role being work from home. So you have to disentangle the two to get a clean estimate.

Which is the driving variable? They find that the effect of exposure to AI on junior hiring ~vanishes when you control for WFH, whereas the effect of WFH remains ~unchanged when you control for AI exposure.

In other words: it's WFH, not AI, that is slowing junior hiring.

Why? Their theory: "WFH makes supervision, monitoring, and on-the-job learning harder, all of which hit junior-workers more. Firms less willing to invest in junior talent when these frictions rise."

I think that makes sense. WFH involves a certain degree of trust and makes management harder. If an employee is less experienced, all else equal you're less likely to prefer them for a WFH position.

Bigger takeaway, though: if AI is going to take all our jobs, it's sure not there in the data yet!
