For many in a knowledge-based digital economy, work is no longer the production of physical goods and services; it is understanding and utilizing information in creative and innovative ways. This has transformed the nature of work and changed the historic relationship between labour, capital, and natural resources as the drivers of economic growth. As well as improved work tools that support interaction and collaboration across time, distance, and scale, new policies are needed that reflect the new realities of working in the digital age.
