🧵What are the ILO and the EU doing to address the #digitaltransformation of work? In this new article @n_potocka and I examine a set of core initiatives such as the ILO’s Centenary Declaration on the #FutureOfWork and the EU Pillar of #SocialRights > bit.ly/IJCLLIRfl

We review the social acquis of both institutions and concentrate on the key analogies. They advocate towards building an adaptable labour market and securing the rights of non-standard workers, who are often excluded from the scope of labour and social protection

Over the last years, these institutions have acknowledged the vast potential brought about by technological progress, but also the urgency to ‘correct’ negative externalities that lead to profound vulnerabilities, social exclusion, and political resentment

The objective of providing #decentwork for all and ensuring a ‘human-centred approach’ in the digital age has been at the core of the ILO’s Initiative The goal of strengthening the social dimension of the EU has been notably reflected in the Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR)

We focus on 4 points: 1) the originality of the measures; 2) the legal force of the new instruments and the specificity of governance methods; 3) the relevance of a collective governance and #socialdialogue; & 4) the credibility of a shift towards a universal model of protection

There is a stark mismatch between the aspirational calls to act with urgency and the realization of policies. The most effective way to ensure the longevity of the two institutions lies in their capacity to lead action to reshape the changing world of work
