During the 20th century, changes in economic growth have been mainly driven by technology and globalisation, causing fundamental shifts in the business landscapes and labour market. Research showed that four factors that used to move in union are now decoupling: labour productivity, median household income, private employment and GDP growth. This phenomenon is called the Great Decoupling, a study that has been in the focus of the work done by Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee. Why are productivity and GDP growing, but private employment and wages lagging behind? In this research, an interpretation is given with factors that likely affect the phenomenon. In the first part of this research, evidence of the presence of the Great Decoupling is given. In the second part of the research, a new modified model is built with variables representing the effects of economics of AI-driven automation and globalisation. Selected countries as major economic areas are analysed based on the period 1975-2014. It is important to further understand how an economy may effectively respond and benefit as a society from these trends.
