"Quality Work for a Quality Life" High-Level Conference

The EU Presidency of Slovenia is organising a high-level conference on 7 October 2021 on the provision of quality work through changes in the balance between professional and family life, lifelong acquisition of skills and knowledge, and ensuring a safe and healthy workplace, including in the professions of the future and new forms of work. Discussions will focus on a quality work environment, taking into account increasing digitalisation, automation and robotisation in the world of work.

A successful and equitable post-pandemic economic recovery must be based on a responsive, resilient and inclusive labour market. From the point of view of policy-making, the latest scientific findings and best practices, the conference will open discussions on some important aspects of high-quality, i.e. sustainable, work environments, especially safe and health hazard-free work, the ability to work in increasingly digitalised work environments and work-life balance, taking into account demographic change and equal opportunities.
