This is the question we ask in our newly published article in Socio-Economic Review. Using original survey data from Ghana, we show that technological risk does not simply generate demand for redistribution in the abstract. Read more here https://t.co/FWnp0uQRDP

If digitalisation puts jobs at risk, do people want monetary compensation, or do they want governments to create new work instead?

A nice blogpost on our @poldigwork paper on tech optimism and the future of work in Ghana: https://t.co/OCbD9R04r9

[Achim Kemmerling @AchKem]

First, and foremost, we find that Ghanaians tend to be much more optimistic about the use of technology in the work place than most Europeans. They see it as a form of leapfrogging and not to depend on old and problem-ridden technologies such as landlines, postal services etc.

[Achim Kemmerling @AchKem]

Third, we see interesting contrasts. In some segments it is rather the younger and more educated population who is more afraid of job loss, arguably because they work in sectors with more technological exposure.

[Achim Kemmerling @AchKem]

Second, we use a survey experiment to see whether simple priming makes people sensitive to potential negative effects such job loss etc. Turns out that they are not. Rather positive primes make people even more optimistic.

[Achim Kemmerling @AchKem]

Fourth, and finally, unlike most studies in this area we also include open-ended items to ask for the motives of the people will answering our survey. This gives a fascinating picture of what people associate with the future of work, both positively and negatively.
