Technological change has led to increased productivity and greater prosperity over recent decades. It is also considered to be a driver of inequality. However, a new study shows that digitalisation in Germany in the 1990s did not increase social inequality across all aspects. Technological progress lowered the influence of parental background on wages and in this regard improved equality in working life. This especially applies to employees who achieved an upper secondary school-leaving certificate.
