La formación y el emprendimiento respuesta a las nuevas realidades económicas y sociales

Abstract

The current society is permanently proposing new challenges in economics, politics, law and social relations. The new ways of working in Internet, production decentralisation, the difficulty of identifying the subjects of these relations and the indeterminate multitude which many of these works are aimed at is altering the traditional elements of Labour Law.

The growing subordination of Labour Law to Employment, and the latter to the economy, is directly affecting the employability of workers, requiring ever more appropriate qualifications which guarantee their mobility in a market which is increasingly more volatile and complex. Work and, specifically, employment policies are not alien to this phenomenon. They need to adopt measures which assure the traditional production system and at the same time facilitate the development of new organisational and firm models. We move in an information society where innovation and communication are the basic pillars of its development and need a positive action of the States to further integration and social cohesion among all their citizens.

Active employment policies must be the answer to these new challenges, and professional qualifications through the evaluation and accreditation of the worker’s professional skills have to be their first and main cornerstone.

On the other hand, in a globalised market in which dependent employment is more frequently giving way to self-employment, entrepreneurship is another of the instruments for employment. This is to be acted upon, not only as self-employment, but fostering and boosting business initiatives, especially those which are innovative, creative and competitive.

One of the initiatives within entrepreneurship is business assistance through incubation, tutorisation and accelerating techniques which enable the transforming of business ideas into real business projects, coordinating the viability analysis and the firm plan. An example of an activity which drives business ideas and projects is that which is developed in the crowdworking-El Cubo space in the framework of Andalucía Open Future.
