Impact of digitisation processes on people aged 50+, women, people with disabilities, and people from areas distant from urban centres. Possibilities for support mechanisms for equalisation of opportunities in the labour market
Abstract
The main goal of this study is to assess the effects of digitization processes on specific groups, namely individuals aged 50+, women, individuals with disabilities, and those residing in non-urban areas. Additionally, the study aimed to identify potential strategies to promote equal opportunities for these groups within the labour market. The report provides an overview of the current state of digitisation in Poland from a macroeconomic perspective and evaluates the potential impact of these transformations on the aforementioned groups. Furthermore, a CAWI study was conducted to gauge the willingness of employees from disadvantaged backgrounds to adapt to changes associated with remote work, automation of production processes, robotisation, and the adoption of modern technologies such as AI and IoT. The report concludes by presenting recommendations aimed at enhancing digital competencies and fostering equal opportunities for the surveyed groups within the labour market.
