Understanding the Changing World of Work

There is an extensive public debate which addresses the changing world of work and asks how we will work in the future . This debate is conducted in part through a series of policy and research reports. This grey literature describes how work is changing, theorises these changes and offers advice to a wide range of actors about what should be done. Some reports focus on the individual and their career management, others on the organisational implications of the changing world of work and still others make suggestions for public policy . As individual reports such papers come and go, rarely making any kind of substantial impact. But as a collective body of work , they constitute a steady drip feed of ideas about the future of work , which are regularly picked up by the press, profiled at career guidance conferences and discussed amongst those with an interest in the future .

To explore the conception of the changing world of work contained within this body of grey literature I have identified and analysed 30 papers. These papers were identified through a Google search using the strings ‘filetype:pdf changing world of work ’ and ‘filetype:pdf future of work ’. The criteria for inclusion was that there had to be a report or paper rather than a short article or blog. They also needed to have a date of publication so that I could be sure of when they were published. All articles published in academic peer-reviewed journals were excluded. All papers were produced between 2015 and 2018 and the types of organisations which produced them are set out in Table 12.1.Table 12.1Breakdown of the changing world of work literature by organisational type
