The objective of this study is to estimate the impact of digital transformation on employment, earnings, poverty and income inequality in the 2010-2019 decade, as well as provide an indication of what this impact could be in the coming decade, across all EU Member States and in the EU as a whole. In addition, this study also examines how digital technologies, which includes Artificial Intelligence (AI), are currently used and could be used by public administrations for improving the delivery and design of social policies as well as how they could be employed to monitor poverty and income inequality. In so doing, the study seeks to provide key insight to the development of the European Commission’s work on addressing poverty and income inequalities in the decade to come.
