Understanding and Improving the Impact of Automation Technology on La-bor Markets: Panel Discussion and Presentation of EU-Led Initiatives
In 2019, the former European Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs, Skills and Labor Mobility, Marianne Thyssen, remarked: "In a changing world of work, we cannot just expect people to get ready for and adapt to change. We, as policy-makers, must also adapt our social institutions, our rulebooks and education systems to support people, so that people can be confident about their future, and the future of their children, also in the new world of work.” During this session we will showcase some examples of European initiatives that support the adaptation of institutions and policies to the new world of work, in a manner that is inclusive both for present and future labor.
