Le recenti tendenze tecnologiche - come l’Industria 4.0, l’intelligenza artificiale, la robotica - sono diffusamente considerate come fattori generativi della rivo-luzione digitale in atto, con conseguenti profondi impatti socio-economici sia sui mercati del lavoro che sulla natura del lavoro. Le nuove tecnologie stanno automatizzando alcuni lavori, aumentando la domanda di altre occupazioni, spostando i compiti concreti che gli addetti svolgono sul proprio lavoro. Lo scopo di questo contributo è quello di compiere una rassegna della letteratu-ra sui principali impatti socio-economici della rivoluzione digitale e dell’automazione sull’occupazione e sulle dinamiche dei mercati del lavoro.;

Keywords:Rivoluzione digitale; Industria 4.0; automazione; occupazione; mercati del lavoro; impatti socio-economici.
