<strong>Digitalisation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>economy</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>its</strong> <strong>impact</strong> on labour markets The ‘right’ to disconnection for example Volkswagen has put in place an arrangement whereby servers for pr<strong>of</strong>essional smartphones go into sleep mode between 6.15 p.m. <strong>and</strong> 7 a.m. Daimler-Benz allows <strong>its</strong> workers to adopt an automatic reply arrangement for email messages sent during <strong>the</strong>ir holidays, a particular feature <strong>of</strong> which is to avoid a situation where <strong>the</strong> worker, on returning to work, in inundated by emails: ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> messages received are redirected to ano<strong>the</strong>r contact or <strong>the</strong> sender is asked to resend <strong>the</strong> message at a later date. In France, <strong>the</strong> CFDT <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> CFE-CGC signed, in 2014, a sectoral agreement on working time with <strong>the</strong> Fédération des syndicats des métiers de la prestation intellectuelle, du Conseil, de l’Ingénierie et du Numérique; this agreement too contains ‘right to disconnection’ provision. 2.9 Italy Fabbrica Intelligente http://www.fabbricaintelligente.it/ The task entrusted to <strong>the</strong> Intelligent Factory cluster is to propose, devise <strong>and</strong> implement an R&D-based strategy. Growth from digital technology http://www.crescereindigitale.it/ Available on <strong>the</strong> web: a training course free to all those enrolled in <strong>the</strong> ‘Youth Guarantee’. Up to 3,000 traineeships to support digitalisation <strong>of</strong> Italian firms <strong>and</strong> accompany <strong>the</strong>m into <strong>the</strong> digital world. TURI research on digital <strong>economy</strong>: EURISPES (Contact: Marco Ricceri, eurispes.intldept@libero.it) Since 2005 we have promoted a European Network on Regional Labour Market Monitoring. This network is a sort <strong>of</strong> bridge between academia <strong>and</strong> operators (at <strong>the</strong> moment we have around 400 members overall Europe). Every year we are promoting <strong>the</strong> Annual Meeting <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> European Day, this year was in Milan, on last October. The main issue was <strong>the</strong> revolution <strong>of</strong> Big Data <strong>and</strong> ITC in <strong>the</strong> workplaces (documentation available). On <strong>the</strong> occasion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Milan conference we also published a book with <strong>the</strong> main findings <strong>and</strong> best practices on <strong>the</strong> issue (Anthology 2015). As follow up <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> conference we have also promoted a European working Group on this specific issue. Eurispes is one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> founding member <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> network <strong>and</strong> at <strong>the</strong> moment my personal position is to be chairman <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Scientific Committee. The coordination <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> management <strong>of</strong> this network is carried out by IWAK <strong>the</strong> Institute for Labour <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> University <strong>of</strong> Frankfurt (Germany): Director Dr. Christa Larsen, Network Manager Sigrid R<strong>and</strong>.

Christophe Degryse 2.10 Luxembourg Digital Lëtzebuerg http://www.gouvernement.lu/4242265/digital-letzebuerg/4242280/intro The purpose <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> initiative entitled ‘Digital Lëtzebuerg’ is to streng<strong>the</strong>n <strong>and</strong> consolidate <strong>the</strong> position <strong>of</strong> this country in <strong>the</strong> firled <strong>of</strong> ICT <strong>and</strong> to raise Luxembourg to a position <strong>of</strong> ‘high-tech excellence’. 2.11 The Ne<strong>the</strong>rl<strong>and</strong>s Smart industry http://www.smartindustry.nl/eng/ TNO, <strong>the</strong> Ministry <strong>of</strong> Economic Affairs, VNO-NCW <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Chambers <strong>of</strong> Commerce <strong>and</strong> FME have taken <strong>the</strong> initiative to make a report on <strong>the</strong> meaning <strong>of</strong> Smart Industry for companies, knowledge institutions, <strong>and</strong> government in <strong>the</strong> Ne<strong>the</strong>rl<strong>and</strong>s. ‘De robot de baas’ ‘Mastering <strong>the</strong> robot’ http://www.wrr.nl/fileadmin/en/publicaties/PDF-Verkenningen/Mastering_ <strong>the</strong>_Robot_Web.pdf Report published by The Ne<strong>the</strong>rl<strong>and</strong>s Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR). ‘De robot de baas’ (Mastering <strong>the</strong> Robot) is a report presented on 8 December 2015 by <strong>the</strong> Ne<strong>the</strong>rl<strong>and</strong>s Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR) to <strong>the</strong> Dutch Vice-prime minister <strong>and</strong> minister <strong>of</strong> employment <strong>and</strong> social affairs, Lodewijk Asscher. The report is aimed at identifying <strong>the</strong> stakes <strong>of</strong> labour in <strong>the</strong> digital <strong>economy</strong> <strong>and</strong> is entitled ‘The future <strong>of</strong> Work in <strong>the</strong> Second Age Machine’. The WRR is not a government institution but an independent thinktank whose task is to advise <strong>the</strong> government on social issues <strong>of</strong> medium- or long-term significance 49 . This report asks some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> questions that are being voiced by most workers <strong>and</strong> trade unions: ‘The first is: Viewed from a labour-market perspective, which forms <strong>of</strong> robotisation (<strong>and</strong> digitisation) will we see, both now <strong>and</strong> in <strong>the</strong> future, <strong>and</strong> what are <strong>the</strong> contributing factors? The second question is: What do we know about <strong>the</strong> consequences <strong>of</strong> digitisation <strong>and</strong> robotisation for work? The third <strong>and</strong> final question is: Which issues should government be addressing in policy, <strong>and</strong> what action can be taken by researchers, employers <strong>and</strong> employees, <strong>the</strong>ir representative organisations, <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r parties?’ (WRR 2015). An interesting concept developed in this context is that <strong>of</strong> ‘inclusive robotisation’. 49. www.wrr.nl/en 66 WP 2016.02
