Synopsis

Employment is now the single most important issue for the European public, and has risen to the top of the political agenda as well. Although the dire predictions about the end of work and the information technology revolution are not taken so seriously as they once were, modernization and restructuring have continued, the process of economic globalization has picked up speed, and unemployment has left its mark. Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach to the debate 'The Future of Work' proposes that the European institutions, and the Commission in particular, should abandon short-termism and establish a new perspective, providing the framework for debate and creating the conditions for progress.
