APEC ensures that goods, services, investment and people move easily across borders. Members facilitate this trade through faster customs procedures at borders; more favorable business climates behind the border; and aligning regulations and standards across the region.

Disruptive technologies — artificial intelligence, 3D printing, and advances in automation, robotics, and intelligent transportation systems — are changing the nature of work in the transportation sector in all APEC economies by creating new types of jobs while displacing others. Emerging technologies have the potential to significantly alter the future of employment in the APEC region’s transportation sector by displacing workers (i.e., job loss due to technological change), while also making some jobs more open or accessible by removing the barriers faced by women and other underrepresented groups. This project aims to build the capacity of APEC economies to strategically plan for and adapt to the emergence of these new technologies by broadening knowledge on the subject, and providing high-level recommendations on how to increase opportunities for underrepresented groups while mitigating the negative impacts on displaced workers.
