Documents reduction of working time 518 results

"This guide maps the discussion on working time reduction by examining the recent trends, the different reasons for implementing such a reduction, and the ways in which it can be organised. Illustrated with numerous real-life examples and insights from research, this guide is a valuable resource for anybody wishing to know more about the working time reduction debate.
The guide shows that there is no ‘one best way' of reducing working time. The design of the experiment should be adapted according to the purpose of the reduction. At the same time, it is clear that there is a great need for large-scale experimentation with organised working time reduction, as the current reduction through the proliferation of part-time work does not guarantee an equal redistribution of work nor does it promote gender equality."

"Modern capitalist economies are witnessing a period of rapid technological progress. Developments in digital technologies, inclusive of artificial intelligence (AI), are predicted by some at least to create the potential for a great reduction in the volume of work. Others see scope for digital technologies to transform the quality of work. This report addresses the nature, scope and possible effects of digital automation. It reviews relevant literature and situates modern debates on technological change in historical context. It identifies threats to job quality and an unequal distribution of the risks and benefits associated with digital automation. It also offers some policy options that, if implemented, would help to harness technology for positive economic and social ends. The policy options range from industry and sectoral skills alliances that focus on facilitating transitions for workers in 'at risk' jobs, to proposals for the reduction in work time. The suggested policies derive from the view that digital automation must be managed on the basis of principles of industrial democracy and social partnership. The report argues for a new Digital Social Contract. At a time of crisis, the policy options set out in the report aim to offer hope for a digital future that works for all."
