Imagining new competent and happy working environments

Abstract

What skills are essential to navigate the complex contemporary panorama? How has the labor market changed with the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the Covid-19 pandemic? Building on these questions, an attempt has been made in this paper to delineate the characteristics of the mismatch between labor demand and the supply of skilled skilled sogners, with a lunge at the health and well-being fallout, first of the individual and then of society as a whole. In this sense, the task of pedagogy is to rethink the old models of orientation starting from the school, which, in its function as a talent-producing “factory,” is deputed to the capacitation of talents.
