The Future of Work and the Challenges Facing the Welfare State
Effects of changes already occurring in the
workplace
The causes of changes in the workplace: not only technological reasons
Several kinds of impact:
Impact on the sectoral composition of employment
Skill-biased technological change, which increases demand for skilled labour only
The increase of duality in the labour market, with insecurity at one end
The growth in self-employment mainly among business owners without
employees
A certain blurring of the company borders
More job versatility and more atypical and intermittent careers, which leads to a
breakdown of social rights
Uncertainty associated with the size of the changes at work

Socle européen des droits sociauxWhat is the future of work?
Are new forms of employment going to replace permanent contracts?
In 2027, the fixed-term contracts and the self-employed will increase slowly:
their employment share will reach a maximum of 25% (21% in 2014), and
permanent jobs will still account for the major part (75%).
Not taking into account a possible disruption
Will increased automation mean less work or/and more skills
updating?
What will work activity mean tomorrow?
Without a relationship with an employer, without a work place, without pay
(volunteer, digital labour), etc.
18/10/2016 13
Socle européen des droits sociauxWhat impact on worker protection? What is certain and already occurring for some workers Breakdown of social rights (status change, moving from one company to another or from one industry to another, spells of unemployment) Some workers are less protected against risk of revenue losses (fixed-term contracts, self-employed without employees and without capital, youth) A permanent adaptation of workers skills is needed but access to professional training is uneven The need of new forms of collective bargaining Uncertainties regarding the amplitude of changes The options within the debate are closely related to the vision for tomorrow of their supporters. But everyone is convinced that a change in workers protection is necessary. 18/10/2016 14 Socle européen des droits sociaux
Options at stake in the debate

No more work

accompanied by the A universal income
Adapting labour reform of the 21th century disconnected from
law and social
work

18/10/2016 15
Socle européen des droits sociauxAdapting labour law and social protection to work changes
Extending the salaried contractual relationship (vs self-employed one)? By
law, by the court, by collective bargaining?
Further protecting the self-employed and fixed-term workers (better social
benefits for discontinuous careers, extending protections to some self-employed
workers, etc.)
New forms of collective action and collective bargaining
Securing employment transitions
CPA: an individual activity account to accumulate points for job-related training and
education, days off not taken and strenuous work, making benefits portable,
adapting them to people rather than jobs themselves

Socle européen des droits sociauxUniversalising the labour and social rights at work An occupational right without distinguishing between self-employed and salaried workers A common set of rights for all workers (on the basis of ILO fundamental labour rights or beyond?) Labour rights growing according to the degree of subordination (what those levels should be and how to measure them?) Social drawing rights Individual social rights for all social protection (unemployment insurance extended to self-employed, social benefits and unemployment insurance to guarantee a minimum welfare support for the poorest workers and extended to youth) This rights still derives from the work of insured individuals and their investment in such an insurance (≠ universal income financed through tax revenues). 18/10/2016 17 Socle européen des droits sociaux
A universal income disconnected from work A universal income accounting for all the system of social protection and assistance An unconditional cash payment given to all citizens including the children Total replacement of social benefits and full disconnection from work What level of income and how to finance it? A basic income for the lowest incomes or a liveable level for all? Depending on the level, replacement of some or all social-spending programmes (including health and education maximum) and tax increases are required 18/10/2016 18 Socle européen des droits sociaux
