🔻A very good job indeed on a very interesting study & thorough presentation. I agree w/ my colleagues that raised the important issues of #disability & #data_protection.>>>

>>>Right now we are able to talk of reducing working hours but we can also, institutionally work to raise workers’ wages, at the same time>>>

>>> New developments, such as #AI -much like the novel machinery of 1886- can pave the way for better quality of life for the people.>>>

>>>The report however somewhat worried me that #digitalization might, instead of contributing to reducing inequalities and #EU convergence, lead to the creation of a two-tier Europe: The Digital & the Non-Digital.>>>

>>> There those MSs where the use of novel technology, AI & robotics, in social services is at a very early stage, owing to the lack of infrastructure.>>>

>>>A lack of infrastructure in something as basic as a fast internet connection, which is a problem in many areas, including the Greek islands, but also in other EU countries.>>>

>>>We must look over @eurofound’s proposals, to assure that we move at a common pace. To avoid what worries me here: A 2- or even 3-tier EU, as has been the case on other issues.>>>

>One would expect #digitalization to contribute to fewer working hours. However, the study also points out the worries of Healthc & Social Serv.workers that the use of new digital tools, is adding to their workload, not reducing it>

@EPSocialAffairs @eurofound
@SyrizaI @Left_EU

>>>This is contradictory. How is it possible that workers have such tools at their disposal and are at the same time protesting about increased workloads? I would ask for an answer & clarification here.🔻
