📚A new WeLaR study by C. Perugini (@UniperugiaNews) & @MarkoVladi (@Ekonomski) finds that most Europeans support income redistribution, but many don’t vote for parties that promote it. Cultural values, trust & migration views also shape their decisions. 🔗bit.ly/3ScwqrL

📚 A new WeLaR study finds that many EU platform workers want benefits like paid leave & sick pay - but their willingness to pay for them is very low (just a tiny share of income). This reflects financial pressure, not a lack of need for protections. ⚖️ 📎bit.ly/3HUAonc

🙏Huge thanks for the final comments to Michaela Bruckmayer, all presenters & participants of the WeLaR Foresight Webinar! We learned a lot about how to prepare meaningful foresights - and what key trends, disruptions & transformations to watch as they shape the future of work.🌍


📢 @JoannaBHofman (@RANDEurope) is presenting at the WeLaR Foresight Webinar! She’s making the case for bringing gender and inclusion into how we imagine the future of work and welfare - because policies shaped without diverse perspectives risk reinforcing today’s inequalities.

In his presentation at the WeLaR Foresight Webinar, Dexter Docherty (@OECD) talked about organisation's approach to the foresight and thinking as a futurist. He also looked into how to stress-test public policy and prepare it for the uncertainty.

📊At the WeLaR Foresight Webinar, @_BartLos (@univgroningen) presents quantitative scenario analysis for a world economy dominated by Global Value Chains. He shows how transformations - tech change, globalisation, and demographic shifts - might impact global markets.

🔍Rafael Peels (@ilo) is currently sharing insights at the WeLaR Foresight Webinar on how we should use foresight to think about and act upon an uncertain future of work. He talks about good foresight standards and the importance of democratic, participatory approaches.
