Descrizione del progetto
Trasformare il lavoro e la protezione sociale in Europa
Il modo in cui gli europei vivono e lavorano ha subito significativi cambiamenti dal 2000. L’innovazione, l’internazionalizzazione del mercato del lavoro e la transizione verso un’economia verde sono solo alcune delle variazioni strutturali che producono un impatto sui cittadini. Il progetto TransEuroWorkS, finanziato dall’UE, indagherà sul modo in cui l’UE e gli Stati membri medieranno gli effetti che tali cambiamenti potrebbero avere sugli europei, l’economia e la sfera politica. L’assunto è che la protezione sociale debba essere sostenibile, inclusiva e mobile per affrontare le sfide future e l’attenzione sarà rivolta a individui, famiglie, luoghi di lavoro, paesi e UE. Il progetto condurrà inoltre sondaggi, interviste ed esperimenti sul campo con l’obiettivo di migliorare la conoscenza e sostenere gli europei per un futuro più coeso, equo, inclusivo e verde.
Obiettivo
For the last two decades, European countries have faced unprecedented structural changes due to digitalisation, automation; the internationalisation of the workforce; and the transition towards a green economy. How national and EU-level interventions will mediate the effects of these transformations will profoundly impact the future of European citizens, the economy, and political stability. TransEuroWorkS' multi-level, comparative, and multi-method strategy for scientific and social impact is driven by an understanding that social protection must be sustainable, inclusive, and mobile to address the complex and interlocking transformations of the near future.
The project examines eight policy areas: unemployment, sickness, old-age insurances, retraining, work-life balance, family and care policies, gender equality, foreign labour recruitment and freedom of movement, combining conventional protection policies with the more contemporary social investment approaches. Through research in 27 EU-member states and 2 non-EU countries, we address 5 levels relevant to the transforming world of work and social protection: individuals, households, workplaces, countries and the EU. TransEuroWorkS centres attention on social diversity, including gender, ethnicity, education, employment type, age, and household composition in its methodology. The mixed-methods design of the project, including an original survey on public opinion, survey and field experiments, and interviews with company managers and policymakers, will bring new knowledge on the analysis of existing policies and necessary adjustment measures. TransEuroWorkS will co-design research tools with social stakeholders, engage in policy feedback loops with EU and national policymakers, co-produce innovations and solicit feedback from citizens. Thus, TransEuroWorkS is formulated to bring research with the greatest potential social impact to support Europe's residents and a more cohesive, equal, inclusive, and green future.
