Digitalisation is driving rapid changes in the labour market influencing the nature, quality and productivity of work. European leaders face the challenge of making use of these developments to foster economic growth and employment - while at the same time ensuring decent working conditions, social protection and equal opportunities for all. In light of these ongoing changes, the European Commission convened a group of ten High-Level Experts1 to discuss these challenges from their respective fields of expertise and provide innovative policy recommendations on how to address and overcome them. An overview of the report is presented in the graph on page 15. Going left to right, the figure shows interconnected ‘trends’: digitalisation, globalisation, the rising diversity of work arrangements and ageing workforce. These trends have ‘implications’ for labour markets. They include rising inequality, changing business models, job displacement, workers’ skill depreciation and rising skill gaps. There are ‘challenges’ for policymakers from the implications. At the level of workers and human resource policies, these challenges mainly relate to workers’ skills to keep people employable in the future. At the level of businesses and labour relations, the challenge is to provide decent work by creating high-quality jobs and safeguarding worker well-being and a healthy work-life balance. Finally, at the most aggregate level of markets and their institutions, the challenge is to build a more inclusive society by preventing economic and social polarisation in labour markets. The figure further shows ‘policies’ with specific innovative policy recommendations that result from these challenges2. Our policy recommendations are structured under three main categories: ‘a skilled work-force’; ‘new labour relations’ and ‘a new social contract’
