Forging the
fourth Industrial
Revolution

and social change, governments need to focus on placing
people at the centre of innovation, writes Giuliano Poletti
How can labour market and
social policies help workers
grasp the opportunities of the
fourth Industrial Revolution
while they cope with emerging
challenges? How can we ensure that
technology and new production models
will bring advantages for all and not lead to
new forms of inequality and poverty?
The meeting of G7 labour ministers in
Turin from 30 September to 1 October 2017
will be dedicated to the challenges of the
next Industrial Revolution on the theme of
‘Putting people at the centre of innovation’.
Restoring trust in the future of work
The future of work and social protection
are currently at the core of Italy’s policies.
They also represent a key point in the
international debate and in the dialogue
with our social partners and civil society.
International organisations have produced
important studies, and Germany is working
on them as a priority for the next G20
