The future of work
The future of work is a subject as fascinating as it is disquieting. Work plays a central role in our lives and in our social identity and will continue to do so. Work not only represents a means to achieve economic independence; it is also a source of personal fulfilment and social inclusion. Therefore, everyone is very concerned with the structural shifts that are currently reshaping the world of work: technology, demographics, globalisation, new production patterns, the rise of the on-demand economy but also people’s new expectations regarding job and career.
This white paper discusses major structural shifts that are currently reshaping the world of work such as globalisation, diversity, technology, new production patterns and people's new expectations regarding job and career. The paper provides also suggestions on how to tackle these issues and, ultimately, calls upon policymakers to adapt legislation accordingly.
