Barcelona, Catalonia – 29 June 2023 10.00 – 12.00
The Fourth Industrial Revolution along with the digital transformation driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, the demographic change and the digital and green transition, are profoundly changing the nature of work, leading to new ways of working and creating new jobs.
Maximising the opportunities these trends offer will be paramount to boost economic growth, employment and productivity, encourage economic, social and territorial cohesion and improve quality of life across Europe.
This debate, organised by the Task Force on the Future of Work, chaired by AER by Vice-President Lilijana Madjar (Zahodna Slovenija (SI), and hosted by the Government of Catalonia, will bring together representatives of local and regional authorities, Institutions and other stakeholders to discuss the challenges and opportunities that regions face in adapting to the changing nature of work, and how they can best prepare for the future.
What are the challenges and opportunities facing regions in the future of work? How to prepare the current and future workforce to make sure they enjoy a successful transition to digital and green economy? How can flexible working, in particular remote working, support labour market participation, equality, work-life balance and quality of life? What are the opportunities arising from the future of work for the revitalisation of rural regions? These are some of the questions that will be explored during the debate.
