Submitted by Kyle.Murphy onThe C.D. Howe Institute is the best think tank in Canada. I especially appreciate the informed perspective, filtered through a rigorous review process, that is provided by former policy makers. I was extremely impressed by the quality of the refereeing and the editting for E-briefs.

L'automatisation ne pose pas de scénario de fin du monde pour les emplois au Canada
Le 16 mars 2017 - L' automatisation ne pose pas de scénario de fin du monde pour les emplois au Canada, suggère un nouveau rapport de l’Institut C.D. Howe. Dans « Le choc du futur? Les répercussions de l'automatisation sur le marché du travail au Canada », les auteurs Matthia Oschinski et Rosalie Wyonch estiment qu'un changement radical dans l'emploi au Canada dû à l'automatisation est peu probable dans un avenir proche, bien que certains secteurs d’activités et des professions particulières connaîtront davantage de perturbations que d’autres.
