The ever-increasing number of non-standard workers, the ability to telework and work remotely, the growing significance of digital skills, the impact of artificial intelligence in the workplace are just some of the new types of work and working in a rapidly evolving labour market. All these developments which were accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic are posing new questions for EU and national legislators as well as for national social security systems.

ESIP’s second Annual Forum will look at the challenges and opportunities these trends present for social protection systems in Europe. Experts from ESIP’s Members, statutory social security institutions will share their experience as well as the dilemmas they face in designing solutions to protect workers from newly emerging risks. Digitalisation, strengthening access to social protection but also the changing world of work and the implications for mental health at the workplace will be some of the major themes to be tackled during the all-day, high-level ESIP Forum.

As the current legislature is coming to an end, the ESIP Forum will bring together EU decision-makers, academia, civil society and ESIP Members to debate the progress achieved over the past five years and look at what is pending and should be prioritized in the new legislative term.

Do not miss a lively, interactive discussion with all relevant stakeholders at the second ESIP Annual Forum on 12 October in Brussels.
