This conference covers the following topics

Transformation
digital

How will the new digital transformation ("classical" and generative artificial intelligence, big data, cybersecurity, metavers, automation...) change a large part of activities, value chains and working relationships?

Transition

How will the ecological transition change jobs, skills and sometimes their location in a wide range of sectors such as agriculture, agri-food, industry, energy, construction, transport...?

Skills revolution

Why will artificial intelligence and the ecological transition require an extraordinary skills revolution? How many jobs will be destroyed, created and transformed?

Changes
demographics

How will the current massive demographic shift upset the balance between the very young South and the aging North? Why will these demographic shifts generate labor shortages and a call for professional migration?

Report
at work

How is the changing relationship to work, already perceptible before the COVID crisis, becoming a structuring factor for companies? Why is it irreversibly changing the place of work in people's lives, their relationship with the company, and intergenerational relations at work?

Preparation
and support

How can we prepare for these changes now and support companies, employees and the younger generation in this transformation?

Working Tomorrow

Will artificial intelligence really revolutionize everything? Why is gender equality crucial in business? How can we reconcile productivity, ecological transition and social responsibility? What role can trade unions play in this major upheaval? How can we meet the new expectations of young people and employees? And how can we train them better, at a time when the population is ageing, the workforce is becoming increasingly scarce and skills are evolving rapidly?

These are some of the questions debated in this book, through the eyes of 13 actors from the world of work, who share their visions and commitments. One thing is certain: thinking about tomorrow's work means thinking today about the changes taking place in our society, and opening up the debate.

‍Todeal with all these issues, the reader will follow the adventures of Soraya, a young high-school student who goes to the retirement party for her grandmother Cathy, HR manager at an umbrella company. Soraya has one idea in mind: to use the occasion to complete her presentation on the future of work. But she never imagined she'd get to meet all these personalities. A true documentary-fiction as serious as it is amusing, Travailler Demain stars Muriel Pénicaud, former Minister of Labor, and journalist Mathieu Charrier. Directed by Nicoby with realism, humor and precision, this book is aimed at all those interested in the question of work, whether they are pupils or students, working or retired.
