Work, Economy and Social Affairs

In Austria, Europe and around the world, we are facing far-reaching challenges and changes in the world of work, the economy and society. Globalisation, digitalisation/AI and migration are the complex factors within which the resolution of social problems and the role of the welfare state at the intersection of economic goals and social values are being negotiated. Tech giants, as well as identitarian and fundamentalist politics, are undermining democracy and the rule of law. What humane prospects for the future exist amidst the tensions between economic growth, climate protection, educational requirements and changing labour markets?

Our goal: to have a dialogue about growth, prosperity, climate and the preservation and expansion of an efficient social partnership.
