Abstract
The future of work is uncertain with various developments that are difficult to foresee. Despite this uncertainty, governments need to prepare the labour market for the future. This article identifies four types of government responses to uncertainty: robustness, resilience, agility, and anti-fragility. These policy responses are differentiated according to the intention and timing of governments' considerations of uncertainty. Document analysis shows that this typology is a useful conceptual tool for comparing how governments anticipate the future of the labour market. This typology might also serve as a powerful heuristic to analyse governments' responses to uncertainty in other domains.
期刊介绍：
The IJPP proposes and fosters discussion on public policy issues facing nation states and national and supranational organisations, including governments, and how these diverse groups approach and solve common public policy problems. The emphasis will be on governance, accountability, the creation of wealth and wellbeing, and the implications policy choices have on nation states and their citizens. This perspective acknowledges that public policy choice and execution is complex and has ramifications on the welfare of citizens; and that, despite national differences, the actions of nation states are constrained by policies determined by supranational bodies, some of which are not directly accountable to any international body.
