To understand the challenges facing workers, the Zurich-Oxford research program provides in-depth insights about how people in European countries understand the changing world of work and how they might respond to those challenges.
New technologies, economic integration, and demographic shifts are driving significant changes in European labour markets with implications for the employment prospects of many people. For some workers, flexibility is a means of realizing a premium on their productivity. For others, labour market flexibility translates into a search for opportunities in a highly competitive environment. Younger workers face a challenging future; older workers are seeking to realize the benefits of their skills and experience while anticipating retirement with some anxiety. These issues are reflected in our global findings and in our findings for Europe.
