Table 3.

Gap subtypes, responsible actors and matching interventions.

Gap subtype Missing resource Primary responsible actors Corpus evidence Matching intervention Does not close the gap on its own
Skills access Accessible, time-feasible, AI-relevant training Policy actors; employers D03, D16, D18 Targeting of under-reached groups; paid learning time; low-prerequisite entry points Increasing training volume
Participation Worker voice in technology design and implementation Employers; social partners D06, D07, D09, D18 Consultation and co-design before adoption; technical capacity of worker representatives Training provision
Psychosocial prevention Risk assessment and prevention covering digital demands Employers; OSH authorities D06, D09, D12 Psychosocial risk assessment of digital tools; autonomy treated as a design parameter Reskilling
Protection Effective social protection for non-standard workers Policy actors D14, D16 Effective rather than formal access to protection; transition support Training; consultation
Organizational capacity Financial, informational and staffing capacity Policy actors; intermediary bodies D06, D09, D12, D13 Capacity support; cover for release time; shared services Cost subsidies or regulation alone

Corpus evidence lists documents with page-referenced statements on each subtype; the right-hand column indicates interventions that, on the evidence of the corpus, do not close the gap on their own.
