This thesis explores to what degree are proposed public policies addressing and providing viable solutions to the well-being challenges for individuals, which are produced by the trend of work automation and technological unemployment. It analyzes the policy-related publications of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) on the relevant subjects. First, by utilizing the model of Carol Bacchi’s “What’s the problem represented to be” (WPR) approach, we aim to identify the social realities that are influencing the creation of policy. Then, by using four well-being standards we derived from Amartya Sen’s and Martha Nussbaum’s capability approach (resources, empowerment, individual and external conversion factors), we critically assess the alignment of OECD’s policy proposals to the principles of said standards. By taking the individual-oriented perspective of the capability approach in the assessment of policy, we find that apart from the occasional acknowledgment of the role of individuals’ variation, the state of well-being for individuals is predominantly assumed to follow social development goals defined within the paradigm of economic expansion.
