This set of briefings, commissioned by Policy Department A for the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs (EMPL), will serve as input for its delegation to San Francisco and Silicon Valley in March 2016, as well as for subsequent debates of its Working Group on Digitalisation, Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. The briefings provide background information on the US labour and social security systems compared to European practice, and cover the effect of digitalisation on job creation and job losses in the US; the skills required for the jobs of the future; and changing working conditions in the US and particularly in Silicon Valley.

How to combine the entry of young people in the labour market with the retention of older workers?

This paper provides an overview of the employment situation of young and old workers in the [European Union] EU Mem ... Show more
This paper provides an overview of the employment situation of young and old workers in the [European Union] EU Member States, setting out the most recent development during the crisis and dealing with policies implemented to promote the employment of both groups. The evidence collected shows that there is no competition between young and older workers on the labour market. Structural or general policies to enhance the functioning of EU labour markets are crucial to improving the situation of both groups. However, the responsibility for employment policies still predominantly lies within Member States of the European Union, although initiatives taken at the EU level can provide added value, particularly through stimulating the exchange of experiences and facilitating regional and cross-border mobility throughout the EU.

This study provides an overview of the importance and activities of employment agencies as well as their legal framework ([World Trade Organisation] WTO, [International Labour Organisation] ILO, [European Union] EU) in the EU Member States and closely examines their role in selected countries, while focusing on temporary work agencies, a significantly growing market within the EU. Due to limited data, there is no clear-cut result on the agencies' longer-term impact. However, the four identified market types (market driven, social dialogue based, legislator driven and emerging markets) are analysed through country cases regarding national regulations, the treatment of workers and everyday functioning of the agencies. It becomes evident that there is a wide diversity of the branch, which needs to be taken into account when reviewing EU Directive 2008/104/EC.
