What have we really learnt?

Seems like a lot of policy reform…

… but then – not really

… but then – not really (2)

… but then – not really (3)

What these few glances suggest?

Biggest crisis since The Great Recession, huge unemployment surge, street riots in some countries and …

… not that much effective policy change (or even language change)

Ranking of European leaders and laggars in terms of effective labor market institutions – preserved

Key questions raised

How to assure stepping stone for the youth?

How to assure inclusive labor markets for other participants?

Which reforms to prioritize to reduce segmentation?

+ What is polarization and segmentation?

Polarization & segmentation – then and ahead

Old understanding: a job that is not „good” enough, when others have a job that is „good” enough

New understanding: automatization inevitably kills tasks => „high” and „low” professions remain.

To face: How to assure high standards in „low” professions? How to stop directing people where they have no future?

Thank you for your attention!
