abstract: 'Rapid technological change - the digitalization and automation of work
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
is challenging contemporary welfare states. Most of the existing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
research, however, focuses on its effect on labor market outcomes, such
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
as employment or wage levels. In contrast, this paper studies the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
implications of technological change for welfare state attitudes and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
preferences. Compared to previous work on this topic, this paper adopts
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a much broader perspective regarding different kinds of social policy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using data from the European Social Survey, we find that individual
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
automation risk is positively associated with support for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
redistribution, but negatively with support for social investment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policies (partly depending on the specific measure of automation risk
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that is used), while there is no statistically significant association
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with support for basic income. We also find a moderating effect of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
overall size of the welfare state on the micro-level association between
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
risk and preferences.'
