The Digital Society – Developments and Policy Changes

The Digital Revolution is permeating our daily lives on many levels and the velocity of change is likely to become even higher in the coming years.

The undoubtedly great opportunities that this change brings is, however, matched by the political challenges it poses. To discuss these challenges and possible solutions in a comparative manner, the FES London invited politicians, experts and practitioners from Germany and the UK to a first kick-off of a planned series of events on the Digital Revolution.

It was discussed how different types of inequality can be tackled in our digital societies and how the future of our working lives can and should be created, taking inspiration from the “Work 4.0” programme the German Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs has developed.
