España: El Pacto de Toledo encalla por la división sobre la revalorización de las pensiones en épocas de crisis

Submitted by fabbri on

El Pais (19.06.2018) ¿Cuánto y cómo deben subir las pensiones en tiempos de crisis? ¿En las recesiones deben subir las mínimas con el IPC y las altas menos?

La semana pasada quedó claro que los precios deben ser el elemento "medular" en las revalorizaciones para que los pensionistas mantengan su poder adquistivo. Pero para esta semana quedó resolver la duda de qué pasaba si la economía entraba en problemas. Finalmente en la reunión de este martes no ha habido respuesta. Nadie se ha movido de dónde ya estaban.

Submitted by fabbri on

IMF F&D Magazine  (June 2018) Digital platforms are recasting the relationships between customers, workers, and employers as the silicon chip’s reach permeates almost everything we do—from buying groceries online to finding a partner on a dating website. As computing power improves dramatically and more and more people around the world participate in the digital economy, we should think carefully about how to devise policies that will allow us to fully exploit the digital revolution’s benefits while minimizing job dislocation.
