This report by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change examines the unique challenges and opportunities AI presents to Asian labour markets. While global studies suggest AI will significantly impact knowledge workers, potentially automating tasks traditionally performed by high-skilled professionals, the report highlights that Asia’s distinct labour environment—characterized by a substantial informal sector—requires tailored analysis. The high prevalence of informal work, often lacking fixed hours and wages, poses challenges in data collection and underscores the need for region-specific strategies to address AI’s impact on employment. The report emphasizes that, unlike in advanced economies, AI’s influence in Asia may differ due to these unique labour market dynamics, necessitating policies that consider the region’s specific economic and social contexts.
