1970’li yıllardan itibaren post-endüstriyel toplum teorisyenleri tarafından sıklıkla tartışılan çalışmanın geleceği olgusu teknolojinin istihdam üzerindeki etkilerine odaklanmaktadır. Teknolojinin emek talebini azaltması, işsizlik artışı ile sonuçlanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Covid-19 ile mücadelede gündeme gelen devlet müdahalesi, AB’deki yansımalarını incelemektir. Bu amaçla, Avrupa Konseyi, SURE programı ve Eurostat verileri incelenmiştir. Yapılan incelemede Covid-19 nedeniyle AB 27 ülkelerinde ortalama işsizlik 2019 yılında %6,8’den 2020 yılında %7,2’ye yükselirken, istihdam aynı dönemlerde %68,4’ten %67,4’e düşmüş; kamusal harcamalar ise %46,6’dan %53,4’e yükselmiştir. Son olarak Covid-19 ile etkin mücadele için 2,364 trilyon € değerinde ortak fon oluşturan AB, işgücü piyasalarındaki etkisi azaltmak ve daha etkin mücadele için kurduğu SURE programına katılan 30 milyon çalışan ve 2,5 milyon işletmeye destek için 94 milyar € fon kullanmıştır.

Future of Work Discussion under the Shadow of Covid-19 and European Union’s Social Protection Expenditures

Öz

The phenomenon of the future of work, which has been frequently discussed by post-industrial society theorists since the 1970s, focuses on the effects of technology on employment. Unemployment, which is at the forefront of these effects, and the public intervention necessary to combat it form the basis of these discussions. The aim of this study is to examine the reflections of the state intervention in the fight against Covid-19 in the EU. For this purpose, the data of the Council of Europe, the SURE program and Eurostat were examined. In the review, the average unemployment in EU 27 countries increased from 6.8% in 2019 to 7.2% in 2020 due to Covid-19, while employment decreased from 68.4% to 67.4% in the same periods; public expenditures increased from 46.6% to 53.4%. Finally, the EU, which created a joint fund of € 2,364 trillion for the effective fight against Covid-19, used € 94 billion funds to support 30 million employees and 2.5 million businesses participating in the SURE program, which it established to reduce the impact in the labor markets and to fight more effectively.
