Sustainable Work in Europe

The book presents European approaches to sustainable work in a life-course perspective as part the Sustainable development goals, SDGs and the European Pillar of Social Rights. It discusses how new technology and digitalisation, climate change, and the pandemic will shape future work in Europe.

Sustainable Work in Europe brings together a strong core of Swedish working life research, with additional contributions from across Europe, and discussion of current issues such as digitalisation, climate change and the Covid pandemic. It bridges gaps between social science and medicine, and adds emphasis on age and gender. The book links workplace practice, theory and policy, and is intended to provide the basis for ongoing debate and dialogue.
