The future of work and inequality: How AI is shaping labor market dynamics and its impact on poverty
Researchers at the Universidad del Rosario in Bogotá, Colombia aims to address the heterogeneities of AI integration between and within countries, and examine how AI adoption affects poverty through an analysis of labor market dynamics in Colombia, a developing country with high unemployment and informality rates. Once the level of AI exposure for different occupations is identified, a temporal analysis from 2018 to 2023 will be conducted to assess the evolution of occupational structures and diagnose to what extent AI generates, complements and substitutes jobs. Households of workers will then be characterised based on their level of AI exposure and other sociodemographic characteristics to evaluate their impact on total incomes, before projecting these findings forward to 2030.
