For a new European social contract
Following the Industrial Revolution in the nineteenth century, laws were gradually adopted to ensure the protection of the working classes of Europe. Two centuries later, it is important to question the future of the welfare state model. Will our social rights always be preserved? What about our aging populations: will they be treated with care and dignity? What about young people? Who will finance the Providence States? What is the role of new support initiatives for the most vulnerable, such as social enterprises, in all this?
