About
Susanne Steffes is a leading researcher in labor economics, with a sharp focus on the digital transformation of the workplace and its implications for employment, skills, and organizational structures. Her work critically examines how technological change—particularly automation and digitalization—reshapes value creation, from self-steering machinery in manufacturing to the evolving demands on the workforce. In her highly cited 2016 paper, "Herausforderungen der Digitalisierung für die Zukunft der Arbeitswelt" (13 citations), Steffes systematically analyzes the key challenges posed by digitalization, establishing a foundational framework for understanding the future of work in Germany and beyond. Her research provides vital insights into the interplay between technology, job quality, and labor market dynamics, making her a key voice in policy debates on Industry 4.0. By bridging rigorous empirical analysis with pressing real-world questions, Steffes has become an influential figure for students and scholars seeking to navigate the complex, data-driven landscape of modern labor economics.
