[Opinion] France: Comment adapter la protection sociale au monde du travail de demain ?
La Croix (31.01.2016) C’est vrai, l’emploi non-salarié s’est beaucoup développé depuis 2000, passant de 8,8 % de l’emploi total à 10,3 % en 2014. Mais il ne s’agit pas d’un immense retournement non plus, et je pense que même le salariat devrait rester la norme. Cela ne veut pas dire, néanmoins, qu’il ne faut rien changer, notamment dans la protection sociale, qui protège moins bien les indépendants que les salariés.

We consider the company as a micro-society where wellness depends on both internal organizational factors and external factors related to work. We consider the working wellness as a multidimensional entity which can be interpreted through a set of indicators explored by the O.H.Q. (Organizational Health Questionnaire, 2002) questionnaire. A relational database and the SQL query language ensure portability and independence of the solution.
