Post-Labor Economics

= "emerging field ... which analyzes economic structures and possibilities in a future where technological progress, particularly artificial intelligence, substantially reduces or eliminates the need for human labor". [1]

Description

Nassim Dehouche:

"Unlike traditional labor economics, which focuses on employment transformation, Post-Labor Economics begins with the premise that human labor will largely disappear rather than merely shift between sectors. It concludes by assessing these interconnected dimensions to establish a basis for further exploration of a potentially transformative economic shift for humanity, while recognizing varied perspectives on the inevitability and desirability of post-labor futures."
