Abstract

The “digital revolution” that began in the late 1960s has transformed product markets and production processes in rich democracies. Observers depict the changes underway as a transition from the Fordist industrial economy to a new “knowledge economy,” characterized by rapid technological innovation and associated with a heightened premium on higher education.1 Although the challenges of this transition are broadly similar across the rich democracies, individual countries have navigated the course differently.
