Objective
The project focuses on the factors leading to solidarity or tensions in intergenerational relations, in the area of work. Recent researches raised the hypothesis that the younger generation have different attitudes, forms of participation, expectations and engagement in work than the older generations. The pessimistic view often concludes on an increased individualism. This rapid assumption is not founded on robust research. The project will provide a better understanding of the evolving relation that generations have with work. Such changes have important consequences on the intergenerational relations at the workplace, on solidarity between generations, but also on the relevance of specific work and employment policies as well as on other public policies. The relation to work is analysed through different angles: value given to work, expectations associated to work, vision of the future, relation to precariousness, relation to mobility, more generally the construction of an identity through work and the linking with other key issues. A link is also establipshed between the relation to work and other correlated issues: family formation and lifestyles, intergenerational relations in society, social inclusion or exclusion. The gender dimension and the position of migrants are constitutive and transverals aspects of all research tasks. The project also analyse age policies related to work and employment and identifies good practices. The research methodology combines qualitative, quantitative, comparative and participary approaches. The key objectives are to draw out social patterns of relation to work for different generations, including the gender dimension; to study articulations with other societal fields (family formation and lifestyles, intergenerational relations, social cohesion); to develop awareness of policy-makers on the generational dimensions in the relation to work and employment; to draw out guidelines for youth and ageing policies in this area.
