Work is an essential activity for socialization, a source of multiple acknowledgements, of possible fulfillment of the subjects concerned, and a producer of solidarity. However, its essence, its exercise, its place, its value will be affected by the transitions in progress, particularly those of a numerical, ecological and institutional nature, which prolong other, older but incomplete transitions, such as the demographic transition. The Société Française de Prospective has carried out a foresight exercise on the future of work.

In order to understand the future of work, it is important to combine technological developments, the political and organizational choices of companies and States and, above all, societal movements.
