| Resumen: |
The profound change sweeping through the world of work involves four major drivers: technological innovation, demographic shifts, climate change and globalization. It poses serious challenges, but also opens new opportunities for social dialogue and the
role of the social partners, together with public authorities, in the governance of the
world of work. While social dialogue institutions and mechanisms, including collective bargaining, have long been a feature of European Union (EU) countries, sometimes for decades, questions have been raised about the ability of social dialogue to
rise to the new challenges and opportunities, and deliver sustainable socio-economic outcomes. These questions have been raised at a time when trade unions and employers’ organizations are seeking to adapt to the massive transformations in the global
organization of labour and production, and labour administrations, on their part, are struggling to cope with the challenge of enhancing labour market performance and workplace compliance. |
