EU: report requested by the Commission on digital transformation flags the need for new labour relations and social dialogue, as well as the redistribution of wealth generated by personal data

Today, on 8 April, the high-level expert group on the impact of digital transformation on EU labour markets handed over its report to Marianne Thyssen, the commissioner in charge of employment, social affairs, skills and labour mobility, and Mariya Gabriel, commissioner for digital economy and society. The report contains a list of 10 recommendations, including a new social contract that would guarantee access to social protection for all workers, including independent workers, and which would ensure a redistribution of the wealth created by personal data, as well as personal learning accounts for developing digital skills.
