Emphasis on quality
The report stresses the importance of the quality of work for people in general and for well-being and prosperity in society. The authors conclude that new technology, increasing flexibilisation and intensification of labour in society can have a large impact on this quality of work. The WRR advises companies, institutions, social partners and the government to invest in proper work and its quality for all those able to work. Good work is crucial for economic prosperity in our country, as well as for the stability of social cohesion.
