Forum (Sept. 2018) Einheit der Vielfalt. Das ist der Leitspruch der Europäischen Union. Die unterschiedlichen Sprachen, Lebensweisen und Traditionen sollen unter dem Dach „Europa“ zusammengeführt werden. Andere Länder werden zu Nachbarn ohne Gartenzäune. Die Offenheit fördert den Austausch, nicht nur von kulturellen Lebensweisen, sondern auch von wirtschaftlichen Gütern. Jedes Land ist mit jedem vernetzt. Das stärkt den Zusammenhalt und sorgt am Ende für ein friedliches Neben- und Miteinander sowie für die Freizügigkeit der europäischen Bürger und Bürgerinnen.
Platform work is a form of employment that uses an online platform to match the supply of and demand for paid labour. In Europe, platform work is still small in scale but is rapidly developing. The types of work offered through platforms are ever-increasing, as are the challenges for existing regulatory frameworks.
Across Europe, due to societal, economic and technological developments, new forms of employment are emerging that are different from traditional standard or non-standard employment in a number of ways. Some transform the relationship between employer and employee, some change work organisation and work patterns, and some do both. To date, very little is known about what characterises these new employment forms and what implications they have for working conditions and the labour market.
OECD (18.09.2018) The risk of job automation is much higher in some regions than others within countries, meaning governments will need to address any widening of job inequality between one area and another in the coming years, according to a new OECD report.
ilo.org (27.09.2018) ILO calls on member States to ensure adequate pensions for all.
ilo.org (30.09.2018) Platform work is increasing worldwide, leaving a serious lack of social protection. In spite of the international and flexible character of platform work, extending social security is feasible – if one is ready to explore new avenues. This article is on setting out for Digital Social Security.
World Economic Forum (17.08.2018) New categories of jobs will emerge, partly or wholly displacing others. The skill sets required in both old and new occupations will change in most industries and transform how and where people work. The Future of Jobs Report aims to unpack and provide specific information on the relative magnitude of these trends by industry and geography, and on the expected time horizon for their impact to be felt on job functions, employment levels and skills.
Europa (07.09.2018) The study, which includes country reports and a synthesis report, provides a brief description of the main features of the national long-term care systems in 35 European countries - EU Member States as well as EFTA and enlarging countries.
