How many people does the labor market actually need? When do we speak of a shortage of skilled workers? How does it fit together that we speak of a shortage of skilled workers and at the same time jobs are being lost due to automation? When can robots really take on complex tasks or even entire professions? How does Corona change the need for digitalization in the world of work? And what is the solution to our shortage of skilled workers? Robert Schlachta, entrepreneur, footballer and podcaster himself, has many questions on the topic of "digitalization and the labor market". Leibniz expert Eckhardt Bode has many answers and some prospects for the future of work for him. The economist works at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a Leibniz Institute. His research interests range from human capital to digitalization and economic growth to new economic geography.
