Avrupa Yeşil Anlaşması, kimseyi geride bırakmamaya, adil bir dönüşüm sağlamaya ve daha modern, kaynak verimli ve rekabetçi bir ekonomi yaratmaya odaklanıyor. Peki, bu mümkün mü? Toplumsal olarak adil bir dönüşüm pratikte ne anlama geliyor?

Toplumsal olarak adil bir dönüşüm nasıl sağlanabilir?

Europe’s world of work is changing fast - shaped by AI, hybrid work models, new forms of work, and a renewed focus on job quality and flexibility. How can its social agenda respond to ensure competitiveness, fairness, and inclusion? This panel debate, jointly organised by the IIEA and Eurofound, also marks 50 years of Eurofound’s research supporting policies for a stronger social Europe. Drawing on insights from the IIEA and the latest Eurofound findings, this panel discussion covers themes such as working conditions and job quality, telework, employment trends, AI in the workplace, and the rising cost of living and housing. Expert panellists also consider how the EU can foster competitiveness, inclusion, social convergence, and other pressing issues in this era of rapid change.
