Trending and Emerging
- Platform Work and Gig Economy:
There is a noticeable increase in research focusing on platform work and the gig economy, examining the implications for worker rights, labor organization, and regulatory frameworks in the context of digital labor. - AI and Algorithmic Management:
Papers investigating the impact of artificial intelligence and algorithmic management on labor dynamics are gaining traction, highlighting the need for new strategies in collective bargaining and worker representation. - Just Transition and Environmental Sustainability:
Emerging discussions around just transitions reflect a growing concern for integrating environmental sustainability with labor rights, emphasizing the role of unions in advocating for eco-social policies. - Transnational Labor Solidarity:

Declining or Waning
- Traditional Industrial Relations Frameworks:

Research centered on national-level labor policies, particularly those that do not engage with broader EU frameworks or comparative analyses, appears to be less frequently addressed, possibly overshadowed by transnational issues. - Historical Perspectives on Labor Movements:
Papers that explore historical perspectives of labor movements, while still relevant, are becoming less prominent as the journal pivots towards contemporary challenges faced by workers in the digital age. - Sector-Specific Studies without Global Context:
Studies that focus narrowly on sector-specific labor issues without integrating broader socio-economic or transnational contexts are becoming less common, as the journal embraces more holistic approaches.
