On 24 October, Dropbox France and Das Progressive Zentrum hosted a debate on the new study \u201aMeasuring tomorrow\u2019s work and economy\u2018 with Nicolas Colin, co-founder & director at The Family, and Barry Colfer, author at Progressive Britain.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

On 24 October, Dropbox France hosted an exchange of views on the findings and recommendations of the report \u2018Measuring tomorrow\u2019s work and economy\u2019. One of the authors, Barry Colfer, provided a summary of the report\u2019s methodology, findings and recommendations <\/strong>and of the key debates surrounding it \u2013 namely regarding the impact of new technologies on the nature of work in Europe. The study draws on the views of some 50 senior voices from business, academia and public policy in France, Germany, the UK, and EU-level, obtained through semi-structured interviews that took place in the first half of 2019. Co-founder and director of \u2018The Family\u2019 Nicolas Colin <\/strong>responded to the key findings of the report, which was followed by an open Q&A with participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key arguments and points of discussion: transformation num\u00e9rique and the need for a new social contract<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The report presents a range of ideas for how to harness the potential of new technologies, and for how public policy reform can best address the social and economic risks posed by the impact of digitalisation on work. Four major challenges that should be central to the public policy discussion on the future of work were discussed, namely:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. the need for an inclusive digital transformation<\/strong> to support individuals and communities that may be at risk of falling behind;<\/li>
  2. the need for focused, advanced and ongoing training and up-skilling;<\/strong><\/li>
  3. the need to foster the growth and innovation potential <\/strong>in the economy, which may challenge traditional management models and<\/li>
  4. the fact that clearly, \u2018one size does not fit all\u2019,<\/strong> and a broad and robust policy agenda is required to address the economic imbalances within countries and regions. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Co-founder and director of \u2018The Family\u2019 Nicolas Colin drew attention to the many obstacles facing start-ups in France in the context of the \u2018transformation num\u00e9rique<\/em>\u2019 (digitalisation). He highlighted how, to date <\/strong>\u2018Europe\u2019 doesn\u2019t exist for start-ups\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, as entrepreneurs are typically focused on the local level. Beyond that, there is limited connectedness and networking between start-up entrepreneurs across different parts of Europe, and European cities, which undermines the possibility of Europe being a centre for start-up activity and excellence.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The core of the business is still \u2013 and shall remain \u2013 human relations, or what Colin refers to as \u2018services de <\/strong>proximit\u00e9s<\/em><\/strong>\u2018 (proximity services<\/strong>).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    In summary, the barriers to getting into employment, argues Colin, is not training \u2013 but the quality of available employment, and it is here where policy-makers should focus attention, in fostering and supporting the creation of high-quality employment. As Colin has previously written, he also pointed towards the need for a \u2018new social contract\u2019 <\/strong>to better meet the needs of society, one that better reflects the needs of people today. Unlike 75 years ago, modern society does not (thankfully) have the trauma of war to serve as a catalyst, and policy-makers and stakeholders must find creative responses that create value by themselves. Concluding, Colin picked up Colfer\u2019s final point, by emphasising how the EU\u2019s scope in legislating in the field of social protection is limited, but that the EU institutions must still coordinate their efforts more effectively<\/strong>, as responsibility for this field is still spread across at least three Commission Directorates General. The discussions focused on the need to find solutions to stress and burnout and work, and on how digital technologies can provide opportunities for self-management, collaboration, and liberation from routine drudgery which should be welcomed, but at the same time, technology may also provide opportunities for control and coercion through the use of wearable technology and surveillance, which must be resisted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
