Concept and guiding questions
Technology can present itself, according to the contexts, as a vector that fuels trends towards a polarized economy, in which institutions are weak (or even absent) and social protections (work, environment, welfare state) are eroded or in some cases even canceled. But it can also show itself as social and industrial progress in which innovations are put at the service of the well-being of the community as a whole, thanks to the government of the technological revolution by the institutions at different levels, and thanks to the agreement between political and social actors aiming at the good of the collective interest.
If not governed technology can however produce bubbles and foster processes of dualization of the labor market and exclusion from the labor market, which we can already glimpse today due to the crisis. Technology can in fact produce enormous fortunes for a small handful of large corporations by generating asymmetries of wealth and power that are dangerous for social cohesion and democratic stability.
Conversely, the government of the technological revolution should on the one hand take into consideration active labor policies, to re-insert those in need of retraining into the labor market and to connect training courses to employment to foster labour market outcomes of young people; on the other hand, it should design new forms of protection for all social parties who cannot acces them, thus creating the right conditions for technological development to be a vector of progress for the majority of the population. Rediscovery of the role of the public actor in industrial policies; agreement between the actors; centrality of human capital for a new development paradigm are the three elements that can represent an opportunity not only for industrial but also for social progress.
The aim of the meeting is to focus on the proposals that can help rethink active labor policies to favor the matching between supply and demand, and build a less polarized and more inclusive labor market. But it is equally necessary to redefine relationships of work in order to improve the quality of work. What cases and good practices can we look at? How should we rethink the protections for the most fragile and marginalized actors in the labor market?
