CONCLUSION

The emerging economy presents challenges in terms of ensuring workers’ income and social benefits. As employers move away from full-time jobs with benefits to temporary positions without benefits, it is vital that we figure out ways to support essential services. Emerging technologies allow businesses to provide goods and services with far fewer employees, so it is crucial to develop new models of benefit delivery.

This chapter has looked at several ways to redesign the social contract and pay for the benefits. Among them are creating citizen accounts with benefits outside of jobs, offering paid family and parental leave, revamping the EITC, providing a universal basic income, changing licensing requirements to ease employment transitions, and enacting a solidarity tax on the top 1 percent of wealthy Americans. Some combination of these proposals is needed to help people make the transition to a digital economy.
