<i>‘This is a wide-ranging Handbook addressing an impressive array of topics on the transitions modern economies are undergoing. A partial list of topics includes automation, slowing productivity growth, new forms of work, the green economy, spatial polarization, aging, telework, and the growth of temporary jobs. Leading scholars present new findings as well as synthesis of existing research, along with recommendations for policymakers. Integrating this work into one volume provides a valuable resource for researchers looking to study these transitions, and policymakers thinking about how to adapt our policies and institutions to these transitions.’</i>
