🇪🇺 As Europe rapidly ages – and retirement age is pushed up to 70 – millions of workers over 50 find themselves faced with a cruel paradox: they are excluded from the labour market just as the demographics – and the pension system – make them indispensable.

Too old to work? When Europe's much-lamented talent shortage meets ageism in the workplace
Jorge Llorca is all too familiar with how it feels to be invisible in the labour market. Ten years ago, this Catalan waiter was unemployed when he heard that Kim Díaz, a local entrepreneur, was recrui...

Mientras Europa envejece aceleradamente –y la edad de jubilación se retrasa hasta los 70 años–, millones de trabajadores mayores de 50 años enfrentan una paradoja cruel: son excluidos del mercado laboral justo cuando la demografía (y el sistema de pensiones) los convierte en imprescindibles...
¿“Demasiado mayor para trabajar”?, cuando la cacareada penuria de talento en Europa se enreda con el edadismo laboral
Jorge Llorca conoce bien la sensación de invisibilidad laboral. Hace diez años, este camarero catalán estaba en paro cuando se enteró de que Kim Díaz, empresario local, seleccionaba personal mayor de ...

En Italie, le modèle agricole profite encore et toujours du travail invisible et précaire des migrants
Avant l'aube, le long des routes de la province de Latina, au sud de Rome, la circulation n'est pas composée de voitures, mais de vélos. Les ouvriers agricoles migrants pédalent parfois jusqu'à 30 kil...

A pesar de tragedias que sacuden a la opinión pública, como la muerte atroz de un joven trabajador migrante indio, la agricultura italiana se sostiene gracias al trabajo invisible y la explotación de miles de personas indocumentadas. Una situación que se perpetúa por decisiones políticas deliberadas
¿Cuántos trabajadores-inmigrantes agrícolas indocumentados tendrán que morir en Italia para que se ponga fin a su explotación sistemática?
Antes del amanecer, las carreteras de la provincia de Latina, al sur de Roma, están llenas de bicicletas, no se ve ningún coche. Los temporeros migrantes pedalean hasta 30 kilómetros para llegar a los...

ANÁLISIS | “Más allá de la IA generativa, ya se nos está presentando, y en buena medida “vendiendo”, una nueva hornada de sistemas que, de cumplirse sus promesas, acelerarán el proceso de desplazamiento laboral a gran escala y, por tanto, exigen nuestra atención: la IA agéntica” ✒️ Atahualpa Blanchet
IA ‘agéntica' y el futuro del trabajo: entre la promesa tecnológica y el riesgo de una mayor automatización
Comencemos por la inteligencia artificial generativa (IA), bien presente en nuestro cotidiano desde hace tres años: ésta ya está transformando el mundo del trabajo. Según el más reciente informe de la...

"Bien que l’IA agentique en soit à ses débuts et montre des limites, les discours sur son caractère imminent influencent déjà l’organisation du travail. Autrement dit, même si elle n’est pas encore aboutie, on conçoit l’avenir du travail comme si c’était le cas."

IA « agentique » et futur du travail : entre promesses technologiques et risque d'automatisation accrue
Démarrons par l'intelligence artificielle générative (IAG), bien présente dans notre quotidien depuis trois ans : elle transforme déjà le monde du travail. Selon le rapport le plus récent de l'OIT (20...

ANALYSIS | “Beyond generative AI and its well-documented impacts, we are now encountering – and, to a large extent, being sold on – a new wave of systems that, if they deliver on their promises, could accelerate large-scale job displacement even further.” Agentic AI demands our scrutiny ✒️A.Blanchet
Agentic AI and the future of work: navigating technological promise and the risk of increased automation
Let's begin with generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) – a technology that has firmly embedded itself in our daily lives over the past three years and is already reshaping the world of work. Acco...
