The paper constructs three policy-contingent labor market scenarios for 2025–2035: (1) an Augmented Services Economy with inclusive productivity gains, (2) a Dual-Speed Labor Market characterized by polarization and uneven adjustment, and (3) a Disruptive Automation Shock involving significant displacement and social strain.
