Its achievements include 2-day weekends, social security and pensions, and so much more. But these achievements are being undermined despite the Europe-wide labour shortage. One of the culprits is the gig economy model, which promises felxibility but really offers precarity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Worker\u2019s representation has been withering in the past few decades worldwide. Formerly self-explanatory labour protections have been rolled back all over Europe, and some states have legalized child labour in the US. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The gig economy has been undermining traditional employment for a long time, but covid lockdowns exacerbated this. It also left billions of people who did not have the privilege to work from home, or to work at all, to deal with the tragic health consequences of the virus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurofound.europa.eu\/en\/publications\/2021\/impact-covid-19-young-people-eu\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Young people in the EU<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> were among the hardest hit populations by the pandemic, experiencing job loss, financial instability, and mental health issues. In 2020, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2022\/04\/eu-youth-employment-covid-19\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EU witnessed a 2.8%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> drop in youth employment, and it\u2019s still recovering. This effect was worst in Portugal, Bulgaria, Latvia, Czechia and Poland. So an emerging generation of sceptics are asking the question: what are we even working for?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the nature of work drastically changing since the pandemic, Gen Z and millennials find themselves working much more than their fellow boomers in comparable positions, and for much less. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/01\/12\/business\/why-millenials-and-gen-z-are-over-working-9-to-5\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows that Gen Z are less likely to seek promotions because they don\u2019t want to work overtime, and are less likely to stick with an unssatisfactory workplace, especially when they have fewer family obligations than previous generations did at the same age.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/displayeurope.eu\/europe-talks\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31094\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eurozine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-17-at-09.42.50.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1464\" height=\"503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eurozine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-17-at-09.42.50.png 1464w, https:\/\/www.eurozine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-17-at-09.42.50-300x103.png 300w, https:\/\/www.eurozine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-17-at-09.42.50-1024x352.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.eurozine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-17-at-09.42.50-768x264.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1464px) 100vw, 1464px\"\/><\/a>And the gendered division of labour still renders women underrepresented in the labour market, with care responsibilities unpaid and unrecognized.
