Labor markets around the world are being reshaped by powerful trends, including rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI), and population aging in some regions and youth bulges in others. AI's impact on labor markets is multifaceted and complex: It has the potential to create new job opportunities and make many jobs more productive, but it will also automate some tasks leading to the destruction of some of today's jobs. AI can also affect labor markets by changing international patterns of specialization. At the same time, demographic trends pose additional challenges. In all developed…

TransFormWork 2, promoted by The Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria (CITUB), aims to find joint solutions by national social partners from Bulgaria, Cyprus, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Poland and Romania for managing the effects of AI and algorithmic management on the work of the future. It addresses important issues around employment relations and aims to find appropriate mechanisms, practices and initiatives for a timely anticipation of the skills needed in the future and to achieve the benefits and added value that AI could bring for employers and workers by providing new labour market opportunities, new ways of organising work and improvement in working conditions. The final conference will take place in Sofia, on 27 March 2026, where EU-OSHA will present the findings on digitalisation of its latest ESENER survey.

Stigma around mental health remains a workplace issue.  A new OSHwiki article examines how stereotypes and discrimination can affect workers across sectors. People experiencing mental health problems may be judged as unpredictable, less capable or difficult to work with. They may face unfair treatment from managers and colleagues. OSH Pulse data also suggests that many workers are still reluctant to disclose mental health problems at work. The article presents practical measures and tools to help tackle stigma and build more supportive workplaces.

The programme will address key challenges for safety and health at work, including new developments in prevention, heat stress and extreme weather. A specialist exhibition will also showcase solutions and products related to PPE, safety footwear, protective clothing, software, measuring technology and first aid. The opening session and the ISSA Seminar on 18 May 2026 will be translated into English. Learn more and register.

Occupational safety and health (OSH) is still too often shaped around a ‘male’ norm, despite clear differences in how women and men experience work and exposure to risk. In its latest issue (n°31), The European Trade Union Institute magazine HesaMag examines how gender influences everything from psychosocial and ergonomic risks to occupational diseases, digitalisation, heat exposure and care-related work.  It also addresses topics that remain insufficiently recognised in policy and practice, including sexual harassment, menstruation, menopause and the mental health and inclusion challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ workers.

New EU rules under the One Substance, One Assessment (OSOA) package are set to harmonise chemical safety assessments and shorten the gap between identifying risks and taking regulatory action, ensuring faster, better protection of human health and the environment. Led by the European Chemicals Agency, the initiative will integrate chemical data into a single Common Data Platform for Chemicals (CDPC). It includes a raft of key metrics from emissions, environmental occurrence, and human exposure (including workers) to reference values, study notifications, and sustainability information. By consolidating chemical data from five EU agencies (including EU-OSHA) and the European Commission, the platform will make it easier for authorities, NGOs, businesses, academia, and citizens to access, share, compare, and reuse information. Datasets will be incorporated progressively with the first lot being available by January 2029.

The European Central Bank (ECB) is working on a digital version of the euro, a project started back in 2020 that is coming closer to fruition as the enabling EU legislation progresses. The ECB has designed a digital equivalent of cash, aimed at complementing physical euros for day-to-day payments. Its approach may be compared and contrasted with the US Federal Reserve’s reluctance to introduce a digital dollar and with the People’s Bank of China’s definition of the digital yuan largely as a bank deposit. Has the ECB’s rationale for the digital euro evolved over time, from a response to tech…

By harnessing biological resources efficiently, it can help the EU meet its climate targets, reverse biodiversity loss, and reduce pollution, while supporting jobs and resilient rural communities. Nature-based biodegradable materials, such as chemically unmodified natural polymers, play a pivotal role in this transition by replacing fossil-based materials, cutting carbon emissions, and eliminating microplastic pollution. They also create new economic opportunities for the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sectors, reinforcing Europe’s strategic autonomy and industrial competitiveness.Yet, despite their potential, regulatory and financial barriers still hinder the widespread adoption of these materials. The upcoming revision of the EU Bioeconomy Strategy presents a critical opportunity to promote natural polymers, enable supportive market conditions, and integrate biological recycling methods into the EU waste hierarchy.?Questions?✏️Contact us Country Belgium Include in Group's Newsroom Off
