‘Debate #2: The Future of Work’

The job market is changing at a terrifying rate. The four-day week, flexitime, telework, robotisation and digitisation.... and what about the increasing number of burn-outs? Will we ever be able to switch off from work when we’re available 24/7? Will we all be staying at home soon thanks to automation? And what will this mean for youth unemployment, already at staggering levels throughout Europe? Together we will try to come up with a vision of the future in which we can meet these challenges head on.

Speakers: Karel Van Damme (KU Leuven, moderator), Marianne Thyssen (CD&V, video message), Catarina Bustorff (President of the European Youth Parliament Belgium, University student), Hannelore Goeman (SP.A)
