German survey data shows no evidence that #AI exposure has harmed workers' #mentalhealth or subjective #wellbeing. However, self-reported use of AI tools in the workplace points to indications of declining life and job satisfaction. O Giuntella, L Stella, J König cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

Artificial intelligence may reduce the need for physically demanding tasks, but it could also erode job satisfaction, intensify cognitive load, and amplify anxiety. This column reports research on survey data from Germany, which finds no evidence that AI exposure has harmed workers’ mental health or subjective wellbeing. But looking at self-reported use of AI tools in the workplace, there are indications of declining life and job satisfaction. This suggests the need to expand current debates beyond AI’s impact on employment, productivity and wages: if it transforms work in ways that affect stress, autonomy, purpose, or health, these dimensions must become central to technology policy and labour regulation.

Just out @voxeu_org column with @danzernatalia.bsky.social, @garciatorres.bsky.social & @steinhardt.bsky.social on the link between female politicians and school closures during the #Covid crisis #econsky

VoxEU @ CEPR@voxeu.org · 2y ago

Higher female representation in government during #COVID-19 was associated with lower likelihood of schools being closed due to their heightened awareness of costs of school closures @danzernatalia.bsky.social @garciatorres.bsky.social @steinhardt.bsky.social Luca Stella cepr.org/voxeu/column... 📉📈

Women's political representation matters: Evidence from school closures during the pandemic. Natalia Danzer, Sebastian Garcia-Torres, Max Steinhardt, Luca Stella. 13 Nov 2024 The notion that politicians’ identity, including their gender, can influence policy outcomes is supported by a growing body of empirical research. This column reports a study exploring the extent to which the share of women members in national governments during the Covid-19 pandemic shaped the policy responses. Higher female representation was associated with a lower likelihood of schools being closed – not because women politicians were less concerned about the spread of the virus but due to their heightened awareness of the costs of school closures, notably for working mothers with young children. The results indicate the potential benefits of more gender-balanced governments in shaping policies that affect the wellbeing, education, and economic prospects of children and families.
