Employment and labour relations: between segmentation and convergence

Under this theme we welcome contributions that focus on the on-going transformations of work and employment in the global automotive sector both in mature and emerging countries. Special attention will be given to contributions that analyse the impact of digitalization in production (industry 4.0), the consequences of the electrification of cars in terms of employment and work qualifications, and the employment and work conditions in new digital automotive companies such as Tesla or Uber. Contributions addressing recent trends of restructuring and future scenarios for work and employment in different automotive regions and countries are also welcome.
