This book aims to examine and reflect upon how systems of education, learning and guidance are being challenged by the establishment of a new perspective that regards lifelong learning as a strategic tool for the future development of social, cultural and economic development. Certain phenomena as, for example, the labour market segmentation, the polarisation of occupational structure and digitalisation, along with the emergence of new social risks, as increasing inequality and new poverty, family instability and housing crisis, have fuelled form of social vulnerability unheard of. The paper looks into some of these critical issues and ongoing challenges, emerging from the transition of social policies from a phase of search for equality of outcome to one that has equality of opportunities at its core. It explores the emergence of a requirement for new and complex skills in the world of work, which may enable opportunities for equality, but it also reflects upon the necessity of a new type of governance focussing on people and recognising their right to lifelong learning. If the demand for new competences is the challenge of this first part of the new millennium then the challenge can only be won with a close collaboration between systems and organisations, not leaving people alone in front of complexity and processes of ever increasing divide. Only with a pact for development between the actors of the systems it will become possible to build a so-called learnfare system based on a guaranteed access to learning opportunities, consistent with the individual personal life plans as well as the requirements of the economy and the world of work.
Il volume si propone di analizzare e riflettere su come i sistemi di istruzione, formazione, lavoro e orientamento vengono interrogati dall’affermarsi di una nuova prospettiva, che individua come leva strategica delle future opportunità di sviluppo sociale, culturale ed economico, l’apprendimento permanente. Alcuni fenomeni, come la segmentazione del mercato del lavoro, la polarizzazione della struttura dell’occupazione, la digitalizzazione, uniti all’emergere di nuovi rischi sociali, quali la crescita delle disuguaglianze e di nuove povertà, l’instabilità familiare, l’emergenza abitativa, hanno alimentato inedite forme di vulnerabilità sociale. Il saggio esamina alcuni di questi elementi di criticità e delle sfide in atto, nel passaggio delle politiche sociali dalla ricerca dell'uguaglianza dei risultati all'uguaglianza delle opportunità. Riflette sull’emergere di nuove e complesse competenze cercate dal mondo del lavoro, che possono dare corpo a tali opportunità, ma anche sulla necessità di una nuova governance, che metta al centro la persona e che renda esigibile il suo diritto all’apprendimento permanente. Se la sfida delle competenze, in tale scenario, è la sfida di questo primo scorcio di millennio, può essere vinta solo nella collaborazione tra sistemi e tra organizzazioni, non lasciando sole le persone di fronte alla complessità e ai processi di divaricazione crescente. A partire da un nuovo patto per lo sviluppo tra gli attori di tali sistemi sarà possibile costruire un learnfare, come sistema basato sulla garanzia di effettivo accesso a opportunità di apprendimento, coerenti con i propri progetti di vita e con le esigenze dell’economia e del mondo del lavoro.

Abstract
This book aims to examine and reflect upon how systems of education, learning and guidance are being challenged by the establishment of a new perspective that regards lifelong learning as a strategic tool for the future development of social, cultural and economic development. Certain phenomena as, for example, the labour market segmentation, the polarisation of occupational structure and digitalisation, along with the emergence of new social risks, as increasing inequality and new poverty, family instability and housing crisis, have fuelled form of social vulnerability unheard of. The paper looks into some of these critical issues and ongoing challenges, emerging from the transition of social policies from a phase of search for equality of outcome to one that has equality of opportunities at its core. It explores the emergence of a requirement for new and complex skills in the world of work, which may enable opportunities for equality, but it also reflects upon the necessity of a new type of governance focussing on people and recognising their right to lifelong learning. If the demand for new competences is the challenge of this first part of the new millennium then the challenge can only be won with a close collaboration between systems and organisations, not leaving people alone in front of complexity and processes of ever increasing divide. Only with a pact for development between the actors of the systems it will become possible to build a so-called learnfare system based on a guaranteed access to learning opportunities, consistent with the individual personal life plans as well as the requirements of the economy and the world of work.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
