In 2040, I would like working conditions to be fairer and more respectful of work-life balance. A four-day work week without wage cuts would become standard, as technology and automation would allow for greater efficiency. Workers would have stronger protection – even those on agreements or in alternative forms of work would have the same rights as paid leave or sick leave. Fair wages would ensure that no profession is undervalued, especially in the care and health sectors. A hybrid model of work would allow for more flexibility for people to choose between working from home and working in the office. Companies would also pay more attention to the psychological well-being of employees, offer psychological support and prevent burnout syndrome. In such a future, work would not only be a necessity, but also a meaningful part of life.
