The publication is an important work dedicated to the nature of labor amid contemporary global challenges shaped by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, digitalization, changes in the labor market, geostrategic divisions, migration, globalization, and neoliberal policies.

In his work, the author offers analytical syntheses and comparative perspectives while raising essential questions about the need for a new social contract, the modernization of trade union organization, improvements to labor legislation, international standards for collective bargaining, the position of young people in the labor market, and the future of labor relations.
