Project description : 

With the planned pension reform of 2023, the issue of work has become central to the public debate. Even though it has often been neglected in the past by the media and the authorities (including during the preparation of this pension reform), work in France has been the subject of a great deal of research in the social sciences, enabling us to document precisely what we know about the quality of life at work, working conditions, arduousness, work organisation, management, democracy at work, gender norms, discrimination, the boundaries between work and non-work, and so on, management, democracy at work, gender norms, discrimination, the boundaries between work and non-work, vocational training, career development, the transition to retirement and combining work and retirement, and the different situations of workers, young and old, skilled and unskilled, in different sectors of the economy and with different statuses.

This series of texts is not intended to cover every aspect of the labour issue, but to make available in an accessible format the results of a number of social science studies (economics, management, sociology, political science, etc.) concerning the labour situation in France.
