Abstract

The analisys shows an overall national delay in the digitalisation process and the urgent need to promote e-skills. The main topics dealt can be grouped into four broad categories: descriptions of national policies and strategies aimed at supporting digital change; a critical examination of the issues raised by the collaborative economy, in particular digital platforms; the implications of digital work for working conditions and health and safety; the challenges for education and training systems.
