ABOUT
UNTANGLED is a three-year interdisciplinary Horizon 2020 research project that seeks to examine the interconnected trends of globalisation, demographic change and technological transformation, and their effects on labour markets in the European Union and beyond. By engaging a broad range of stakeholders, including companies and civil society organisations, we will develop practical policy proposals to help governments cushion the negative impacts of these trends and ensure their benefits are enjoyed fairly across regions and sectors.

🚨📰A new UNTANGLED paper by @polimi team R. Capello, C. Lenzi & E. Panzera shows that diffusion of the digital service economy contributes to the widening of intraregional wage inequalities in EU, but not all regions are similarly exposed to this risk.
