Abstract

This chapter aims to provide a general picture of the current transformations in the logistics labor market in the light of digitalization and automation processes, affecting working conditions, job profiles, training systems, and skills required. The chapter reflects on the implications of labor dynamics along the maritime-logistics chain, and on a reconfiguration of the human resource management in the future, due to the ongoing structural changes and dynamics that suggest the brink of a new technological leap in the capitalist system. The digital transition related to the ongoing crisis with the social and employment consequences deriving from the technological change in the production system, could speed up the changing processes related to digitalization and automation on the logistics labor market. In light of these new scenarios, this chapter seeks to outline an explanatory framework for analyzing the logistics labor market in the context of digitalization, with its peculiarities, challenges and trends.
