Article sur les changements considérables auxquels doit faire face l'industrie automobile, autour entre autres des pratiques de mobilité, dans lesquelles l'économie collaborative a un rôle prépondérant.
Intervention de Camille Kerr, de l'ICA Group, qui s'est rapproché de la Service Employees International Union pour mettre en place des plateformes coopératives (à présence syndicale) dans le secteur de la garde d'enfants. Un exemple concret de protections à développer pour des travailleurs habituellement très précarisés.
Ouvrage de Gina Neff sur le "venture labor", qui désigne les pratiques de salariés en entreprises ".com" ayantt adopté dans leur travail toutes les caractéristiques des entrepreneurs, investissant temps, énergie, et autres ressources personnelles. Elle attribue ce changement à une évolution plus globale de la société, où le risque économique, auparavant assumé collectivement, l'est désormais par l'individu.
Un livreur a été licencié pour avoir refusé de quitter un "chat group" de livreurs portant sur les conditions de travail et de rémunération chez Foodora. Le "Transport Workers Union" va porter plainte.
We live in a world where productivity, a key pillar of long-term economic growth, has crumbled. In the United States, Europe, and other advanced economies, productivity growth has slowed so drastically in the past decade that economists debate whether we have entered a new era of stagnation
Now comes potential help, in the form of advanced robotics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, which can already outperform humans
not just (or even mainly) in terms of reducing labor costs: automation can also bring whole new business models, and improvements that go beyond human capabilities, such as increasing throughput and quality and raising the speed of responses in a variety of industries. Automation will give the global economy that much-needed productivity boost, even as it enables us to tackle societal “moonshots” such as curing disease or contributing solutions to the climate change challenge
The catch is that adopting these technologies will disrupt the world of work
Three other priorities stand out:
a much sharper focus on skills and training. That means reversing the trend of declining government spending on training that is apparent in many OECD countries. It also means a stepped-up role for companies, which will be on the front line of automation adoption and will know better and faster which skills are required
making the labor market more fluid, including by more active use of digital technologies for job matching and for stimulating the rise of independent work. In fact, the dynamism of labor markets is waning: in the United States, for example, the job reallocation rate dropped by 25% between 1990 and 2013, and the share of workers relocating across state lines annually has fallen by half, to close to 1.5%.
Government, businesses, educational institutions, and labor organizations need to collaborate to ensure that incumbents and new entrants to the labor market have accurate forward-looking knowledge of the evolving mix of skill and experience requirements
reevaluation of income and transition support to help displaced workers or those struggling with transitions to new occupations. Germany set an example here by revamping its labor agency and putting an emphasis on acquiring skills. Its labor participation rate has risen by 10 percentage points since reunification, to above the U.S. level

"The catch is that adopting these technologies will disrupt the world of work. No less significant than the jobs that will be displaced are the jobs that will change-and those that will be created. New research by the McKinsey Global institute suggests that roughly 15% of the global workforce could be displaced by 2030 in a midpoint scenario, but that the jobs likely created will make up for those lost. There is an important proviso: that economies sustain high economic growth and dynamism, coupled with strong trends that will drive demand for work. Even so, between 75 million to 375 million people globally may need to switch occupational categories by 2030, depending on how quickly automation is adopted."
Interview de Leslie Willcocks, professeur à la London School of Economics, sur les processus d'automatisation et, entre autres, sur leur impact sur le travail. D'après, c'est surtout une opportunité d'automatiser les parties les plus répétitives et les moins intéressantes des postes de travail.
