04-2013) and long term unemployment (4.1% 2011)
• Rising NEETs (14 mio in 2012, 48.1% unemployed rate)
(Eurofound)

exclusion in 2010, up 2 mio from 2009, worsening in 2011
• Women, children, youth and migrants are key vulnerable
groups
• In-work poverty increasing: 1/3 of working age adults at risk
of poverty are working in 2010

(improve labour market situation of more vulnerable groups)
• Encouraging labour demand
• Modernisation of EURES and public PES

social policies

adequate livelihoods

Including (cfr 2.2, P11, MS to)
Close the gender pay gap and address other barriers to women’s
and other underrepresented workers’ participation in the
labour market, including by encouraging employers to address
workplace discrimination and offer reconciliation measures (such
as childcare services), adapted workplaces, including ICT-based
solutions, eAccessibility, diversity management, programmes for
up-skilling and training, for the recognition of skills and
qualification as well as mobility
3. Digital Agenda for Europe
Mid Term review (went through CIS, still under discussion)
Digital Inclusion -> Jobs and Skills
http://daa.ec.europa.eu/group/12/content
On addressing the skills gap:

European Commission Employment Package 2012 Key Action 8
"Map new forms of employment…. Which make organisations more
agile and responsive to changes while boosting durable
employment retention and job creation".
What does ‘Crowdsourcing’ mean for
the future of Employment and
Employability, and policy in these
areas?
Follow the hype….
“Information Society”
“Network Economy”
“Web2.0”
“Social Media”
“ Wisdom of the Crowd”
“Sharing economy”
Follow the hype….
Crowdsourcing (Howe,2006)
Software ->opensource projects
Texts and knowledge -> wikipedia, citizen journalism
Ideas/knowledge - > ‘(open) innovation’ ‘crowd creativity’,
Politics-> online campaigns, government, law
Money - > Crowdfunding, peer to peer leaning
Making -> manufacturing markets
Sharing’ ->peer2peer economy/ social solidarity
‘Work’ -> microwork, elancing….., ‘distributed human
intelligence tasking’
‘
Crowdsourcing
An on-demand, online, distributed problem-solving,
financing
and production model
combining top-down (control)
and bottom-up elements (voluntarism, ‘social’),
with a software-based intermediary
coordinating tasks and facilitating a market
Crowd-sourcing <- Out-sourcing
1. Crowdsourced labour
New ways of finding work, finding workers,
being employed and getting work done
MTurk, Microtask, People per hour, Top
Coder, elance, innocentiv
Millions of workers, micro, mini-contracts
‘Free’, ‘Cheap’, ‘Flexible’
2. Crowdfunding
Access to Capital and market
for personal and community projects
leading to employment and/or
increasing employability
Equity, donation, loans, rewards
Indiegogo Kickstarter, Mi Grano de Arena
Money Economy
Non-monetarised work
Increasing interest in how unpaid work is a crucial element
in building and demonstrating employability
3. ‘Virtual’ Volunteering
Find opportunities
Doing voluntary work online
Organising voluntary work
Microvoluntarios, Help from home, Frivilligjob
4. Reciprocal exchange: Timebanks and
complementary currencies
In Europe since the 1990s
High growth in last 5 years
Facilitated by the internet and computers.
Timebanking UK, Fureai Kippu,LETS, timebanks.org
Research Questions
Little documented evidence to answer these, from
current range of services and practices, and
from a user perspective. We need more data
1.How do new Internet-based systems based on
exchange or donation of labour, or capital
provision operate from both the user and
operator perspectives?
2.What are the opportunities and challenges that
each of these types of service and practice
present to policy?
Objectives
1.Database of Practices (Short and long cases)
2.State of the Art of practice
3.Analyse impact on working lives
4.Conclusions for future of employment, for policy
and research
Unpack ‘ the crowd’
