b'The digital economy is bringing great opportunities for people, but also many risks, says Portugal\\u2019s Minister of the Economy, Pedro Siza Vieira.

Countries need the right policies in place, from social protections to cover us when we\\u2019re sick, out of work or retired, to investment in education, training and reskilling. And if we don\\u2019t get this right, it\\u2019s democracy itself that will suffer.\\n\\nHost: Kate Lancaster\\nProducer: Robin Allison Davis\\n\\nGet the latest OECD content delivered directly to your inbox!
