    The Ageing Workforce

    The gradual ageing of the global population is a known phenomenon, but how this might impact the workplace is harder to say. We conducted a survey to find out how ageing workforces are changing employment across the world. James Davies, partner in our UK law firm, comes on the podcast to explain.

    Which countries offer a ‘right to disconnect’?

    The pandemic provoked the governments of many countries to think seriously about the mental health of employees, particularly those working remotely – and the trend is continuing. In this episode, we talk to Stefano de Luca Tamajo from our Italian firm about a survey we have just completed on how disconnection rights are developing and what kind of rules are being put in place.

    Stijn Broecke on AI and the labour market

    Stijn Broecke on AI and the labour market

    In this episode, Stijn Broecke, a senior economist at the OECD who is leading their Future of Work initiative, talks about recent OECD findings on how artificial intelligence is beginning to reshape the world of work, what employers and employees think about this, and the structural changes a rapid wave of AI-driven automation may bring. Against a backdrop of rising inequalities, he considers that role that dialogue can play, alongside investment in skills, in smoothing the transition.
