The world of work is undergoing profound changes that affect both material living conditions and individual and collective identities. Phenomena such as the digitization of employment, the gig economy, new forms of precariousness, and the challenges of decent work are addressed. The contributions also explore the link between work and mental health, social security, care, and recognition, proposing a comprehensive view of well-being. Far from a purely economic reading, the approach here considers work as a central dimension of the human experience, in constant tension with the structures that regulate it.
