Aim of this initiative concerns both CONTENT and COOPERATION between the interns of research institutes in Athens.
Main topics to be discussed:
- Contemporary challenges for employees, employers, youth and working class
- Comparison with earlier periods and different geographic regions, starting from 19th century radical changes in labor environment and finishing with today’s evolving conditions
- Greece will be used as a case study in order to ascertain these changes
- Future of labor market: what should we expect and what can we do to improve it?
