The Economist: Economists are revising their views on robots and jobs

# data[].attributes.body
P1: When the pandemic first struck, unemployment soared. Not since the Depression had American joblessness surpassed 14%, as it did in April 2020. But fears of a prolonged period of high unemployment did not come to pass. According to the latest available data, for November, the unemployment rate for the oecd club of mostly rich countries was only marginally higher than it was before the pandemic. By now it may even have drawn level. The rich world’s labour-market bounceback is the latest phenomenon provoking economists to look again at a foundational question in the discipline: whether robots help or harm workers.

P2: The gloomy narrative, which says that an invasion of job-killing robots is just around the corner, has for decades had an extraordinary hold on the popular imagination. Warning people of a jobless future has, ironically enough, created plenty of employment for ambitious public intellectuals looking for a book deal or a speaking opportunity. Shortly before the pandemic, though, other researchers were starting to question the received wisdom. The world was supposedly in the middle of an artificial-intelligence and machine-learning revolution, but by 2019 employment rates across advanced economies had risen to all-time highs. Japan and South Korea, where robot use was among the highest of all, happened to have the lowest rates of unemployment.

P3: Many thought that the pandemic would at last prove the doom-mongers right. In mid-2020 a highly cited paper published by America’s National Bureau of Economic Research argued that covid-19 “may accelerate the automation of jobs”, and another asserted that it was “reinforcing both the trend towards automation and its effects”. A paper published by the imf wondered whether the jobs lost during the pandemic would “come back”. Part of the logic was that since robots don’t fall ill, bosses would turn to them instead of to people—as seemed to have happened in some previous pandemics. Others noted that bursts of automation tend to occur during recessions.

P.4: Two years on, though, the evidence for automation-induced unemployment is scant, even as global investment spending is surging. The rich world faces a shortage of workers—by our reckoning there are a record 30m unfilled vacancies across the oecd—which is hard to reconcile with the idea that people are no longer necessary. Wage growth for low-skilled workers, whose occupations are generally thought to be more vulnerable to replacement by robots, is unusually fast. There is still little evidence from America that “routine” jobs, thought to be easier to automate, are shrinking relative to other sorts of jobs.

P5: Considering that so many doubts about the “robots kill jobs” narrative have arisen, it is not surprising that a different thesis is emerging. In a recent paper Philippe Aghion, Céline Antonin, Simon Bunel and Xavier Jaravel, economists at a range of French and British institutions, put forward a “new view” of robots, saying that “the direct effect of automation may be to increase employment at the firm level, not to reduce it.” This opinion, heretical as it may sound, does have a solid microeconomic foundation. Automation might help a firm become more profitable and thus expand, leading to a hiring spree. Technology might also allow firms to move into new areas, or to focus on products and services that are more labour-intensive.

Main ideas

1.- ESG is a way to work capitalism better and deal with the climate change. Is the hottest trend in finance.
2.- ESG doesn't work well. It has produced political problems  and has been accused of greenwashing, losing focus on tackling climate change.
3.- People can invest not only in companies based on their commercial performance but also in their ESG record, thinking these this companies can solve society problems that governments can't do.
4.- Finally, pursuing pursue ESG goals can impact other companies, if electric cars would be highly used, coal mining will be closed.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I f you are the type of person who is loth to invest in firms that pollute the planet, mistreat workers and stuff their boards with cronies, you will no doubt be aware of one of the hottest trends in finance: environmental, social and governance ( esg) investing. It is an attempt to make capitalism work better and deal with the grave threat posed by climate change. It has ballooned in recent years; the titans of investment management claim that more than a third of their assets, or $35trn in total, are monitored through one esg lens or another. It is on the lips of bosses and officials everywhere.

You might hope that big things would come from this. You would be wrong. Sadly those three letters have morphed into shorthand for hype and controversy. Right-wing American politicians blame a "climate cartel" for soaring prices at the petrol pump. Whistleblowers accuse the industry of " greenwashing" by deceiving its clients. Firms from Goldman Sachs to Deutsche Bank face regulatory probes. As our special report this week concludes, although esg is often well-meaning it is deeply flawed. It risks setting conflicting goals for firms, fleecing savers and distracting from the vital task of tackling climate change. It is an unholy mess that needs to be ruthlessly streamlined.

The term esg dates as far back as 2004. The idea is that investors should evaluate firms based not just on their commercial performance but also on their environmental and social record and their governance, typically using numerical scores. Several forces have thrust it into the mainstream. More people want to invest in a way that aligns with their concerns about global warming and injustice. More companies, including a sister firm of The Economist, offer esg analysis. With governments often gridlocked, many people feel business should solve society's problems and serve all stakeholders, including suppliers and workers, not just shareholders. And then there is the self-interest of an asset-management industry never known to look a gift horse in the mouth: selling sustainability products allows it to charge more, easing a long blight of falling fees.

Unfortunately esg suffers from three fundamental problems. First, because it lumps together a dizzying array of objectives, it provides no coherent guide for investors and firms to make the trade-offs that are inevitable in any society. Elon Musk of Tesla is a corporate-governance nightmare, but by popularising electric cars he is helping tackle climate change. Closing down a coalmining firm is good for the climate but awful for its suppliers and workers. Is it really possible to build vast numbers of wind farms quickly without damaging local ecology? By suggesting that these conflicts do not exist or can be easily resolved, esg fosters delusion.

The industry's second problem is that it is not being straight about incentives. It claims that good behaviour is more lucrative for firms and investors. In fact, if you can stand the stigma, it is often very profitable for a business to externalise costs, such as pollution, onto society rather than bear them directly. As a result the link between virtue and financial outperformance is suspect. Finally esg has a measurement problem: the various scoring systems have gaping inconsistencies and are easily gamed. Credit ratings have a 99% correlation across rating agencies. By contrast, esg ratings tally little more than half the time. Firms can improve their esg score by selling assets to a different owner who keeps running them just as before.

As investors become wiser to such flim-flam, they are growing more sceptical. This, coupled with turmoil in financial markets, is slowing the influx of money into sustainable funds. It is surely time, then, for a rethink. The first step is to unbundle those three letters: e, s and g. The more targets there are to hit, the less chance of bullseye-ing any of them. Regarding s, in a dynamic, decentralised economy individual firms will make different decisions about their social conduct in the pursuit of long-run profits within the law. Tech firms may appeal to the values of young employees to retain them; firms in declining industries may have to lay people off. There is no one template. The art of management, or g, is too subtle to be captured by box-ticking. Britain's listed firms have an elaborate governance code-and dismal performance.

It is better to focus simply on the e. Yet even that is not precise enough. The environment is an all-encompassing term, including biodiversity, water scarcity and so on. By far the most significant danger is from emissions, particularly those generated by carbon-belching industries. Put simply, the e should stand not for environmental factors, but for emissions alone. Investors and regulators are already pushing to make disclosure by firms of their emissions more uniform and universal. The more standardised they are, the easier it will be to assess which companies are large carbon culprits-and which are doing most to reduce emissions. Fund managers and banks should be better able to track the carbon footprints of their portfolios and whether they shrink over time.

Unsustainable

Better information alone will help in the struggle against global warming. By revealing more accurately which firms pollute, it will help the public understand what really makes a difference to the climate. A growing number of altruistic consumers and investors may choose to favour clean firms even if it costs them financially. And even if they can get away with polluting today, many firms and investors expect that tighter regulation of carbon emissions will eventually come and want to measure their risks and adapt their business models.

Make no mistake, though: tougher government action is essential now. We have long argued for much higher carbon prices that would harness the market to save the planet. Today pricing schemes cover 23% of global emissions, about double the level of five years ago. But far more needs to be done, not least in America. It is government action, combined with clear and consistent disclosure, that can save the planet, not an abbreviation that is in danger of standing for exaggerated, superficial guff. ■

Reading: Office workplace relationships weakened by COVID-19 

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Higher job turnover may be a permanent legacy of the COVID-19 pandemic, said Brian Kropp, chief of research in the Gartner HR practice. That new trend is likely to increase demand for improved recruiting tools and possibly reduce investments in office workplace training, as an uptick in turnover may affect its ROI. In this Q&A, Kropp outlines Gartner's predictions, including the potential permanency of higher employee churn, for the post-pandemic office workplace. How would you summarize the lasting effects of the pandemic on the office workplace?
Brian Kropp: There will be several lasting implications from it -- some positive, some negative. We've realized that the people who work for us are not just workers, they're human beings, and we need to treat them like human beings. That has implications for how we think about employee benefits. Second, we're moving into a world with much weaker relationships amongst our employees, with our colleagues. We spend less time with them. It's easier to quit. We've realized that our personal lives, communities, families and hobbies are really important to us. Even though we're going to treat each other more like humans, we're less connected to each other. One of the realities of these weaker connections, in a hybrid world, is dramatically more turnover.

Even though we're going to treat each other more like humans, we're less connected to each other.

Brian KroppChief of research, Gartner HR practice

Are you saying that the high number of quits reported last year will become the norm?
Kropp: The historical [pre-pandemic] turnover rate for white-collar workers is about 15% to 17% annually. We're going to be in an environment where that number is going to go up to 22% to 25%.
How will employers respond if employees feel less connected to the office workplace and are more likely to switch jobs? Will they, for instance, turn to automation and contingent labor?
Kropp: They're going to adopt automation for places with high turnover and where work can be done remotely, like call centers. So imagine a bigger push to even more self-service improvements in chatbots. The second thing is that employers will identify the core parts of their business and the most critical roles, and over-invest in them from a compensation, engagement and culture-building perspective to drive retention. They will also identify other less mission-critical roles, and either outsource those or change the model associated with them to more contingent labor.
Apart from raising salaries to keep employees, is HR spending more on recognition software, tools that monitor engagement and training?
Kropp: They will spend more money on recruiting because of churn, but they may or may not spend more money on training. We can use training and development resources for retention. But then there's another aspect because of turnover. If someone's going to be working here for four or five years, when they used to stay for six or seven years, then my ROI on that training investment is reduced. Given that the rate of return is less, I should do less of it because my payback period is not seven years; it's four years.
What will employers want from HR recruiting tools?
Kropp: They will be interested in two things. The first is what can be done with recruiting tools to accelerate the recruiting process. The second thing is new recruiting solutions that give them an ongoing sense of the labor market. How do you keep a set of qualified candidates warm on an ongoing basis when you're not exactly sure when you'll need them?
Are employers upset, relieved or indifferent that the Supreme Court overturned President Biden's federal vaccine mandate?
Kropp: Generally speaking, employers are upset. They know with certainty that a fully vaccinated workforce is in many ways a better workforce because you have less absenteeism and your long-term healthcare costs are less. But they never wanted the responsibility of having to enforce a fully vaccinated workforce. So they had this wonderful opportunity to get the benefits of [vaccinated workers] without having to deal with the responsibility of it. They now have to take on the responsibility of saying, 'We want a fully vaccinated workforce,' and explain why. That is hard for them.

Omicron's effect on worksites
What do you think the office workplace will look like by summer?
Kropp: By the time we get to summer, we will have a small trickle of people coming into the office on an on-again, off-again basis. But for knowledge workers, the muscle has been built strongly around how to work from home. While there's some appetite for some people to get back into the office from a social perspective, that's a relatively small group. And so it will be a slow trickle to the office. But there's not going to be a mad dash back to the office, even by the time we get to June.

That new trend is likely to increase demand for improved recruiting tools and possibly reduce investments in office workplace training, as an uptick in turnover may affect its ROI.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has became the first Gulf state to record a case of monkeypox.

The Czech Republic and Slovenia also reported their first cases on Tuesday, joining 18 other countries to detect the virus outside its usual Africa base.

That number is expected to rise further still, but experts say the overall risk to the general population remains low.

Outbreaks of the virus have been found in Europe, Australia and America.

The symptoms often include a fever and rash - but the infection is usually mild.

In the UAE, health officials announced a case had been detected in a traveller who had recently visited west Africa and is now receiving medical treatment.

Authorities there say they are "fully prepared" to handle any outbreak, adding that early surveillance protocols for detecting the disease were in place.

The World Health Organization (WHO) says the virus can be contained with the right response in countries outside of Africa where it is not usually detected.

"We encourage you all to increase the surveillance of monkeypox to see where transmission levels are and understand where it is going," the WHO's director for Global Infectious Hazard Preparedness, Sylvie Briand, said at a conference on Tuesday.

The outbreaks may not be normal but remain containable, she added.

Outside Africa there are now 237 confirmed and suspected cases of monkeypox and health authorities around the world have announced plans to contain the virus.

Germany says it has ordered up to 40,000 doses of the Imvanex vaccine - used to treat smallpox, but also effective against monkeypox - to be ready in case the outbreak worsens.

Anyone already vaccinated with a smallpox vaccine years ago as part of a global bid to eradicate the disease should have existing immunity, German health officials said. But they added that the older treatment has more side-effects so is not suitable for fighting monkeypox today.

And in France, which has detected three cases, officials announced a targeted vaccination campaign of adults who had been recently exposed.

Authorities there are recommending that a vaccine be given within four days of exposure, but up to 14 days afterwards if necessary.

In England, officials announced on Tuesday that 14 more cases of the virus had been detected - bringing the total number of cases in the UK to 71.

Monkeypox is usually associated with travel to Central or West Africa, but some of the cases which have been occurring outside these countries have had no travel link.

It does not spread easily between people, but it can be spread through:

touching clothing, bedding or towels used by someone with the monkeypox rash

touching monkeypox skin blisters or scabs

the coughs or sneezes of a person with the monkeypox rash

If you get infected with monkeypox, it usually takes between five and 21 days for the first symptoms to appear.

Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle aches, backache, swollen lymph nodes, chills and exhaustion.

A rash can develop, often beginning on the face, then spreading to other parts of the body. The rash changes and goes through different stages - a bit like chicken pox - before finally forming a scab, which later falls off.
