A COSEPUP Charge to the Panel "On the basis of present knowledge, the panel shall: (1) report on the probable effect of current and future technological changes* on employment, focusing on the prospects for full employment and changes in the distribution of employment across occupations, social groups, and regions; (2) report on the probable effect of current and future technological changes on the working environment, including probable impacts on labor-management relations, occupational safety and health, job skill content, and the length of the working day; (3) report on the probable effect of current and future technological changes on existing and new employment opportunities, including prob- able impacts on wages, opportunities for advancement, and job security; (4) identify economic sectors in which it is probable that the rapidity of technological change will cause significant transient effects for individuals and communities; (5) report on the probable effect of current and future technological changes on the demand for employment-related training and education, including areas such as retraining of workers displaced by new technol- ogy, the continuing educational needs of professionals, and vocational education; *Wherever "technological change(s)" appears in the charge, it is to be understood that the term includes consideration of rates of diffusion. 209
