Representations of the working class about social protection in the age of automation: study concerning post productivist logics on the Welfare State in Portugal
Description

This study seeks to examine the representations of individuals from the portuguese working class regarding post-productivist logics of social protection, at the Welfare-state level, considering the impacts of the automation of productive processes in Portugal, being estimated a net job loss of 300.000 jobs until 2030 in a cenario of 50% of the automation potential (Duarte et al, 2019, p. 19). Part of the labour force characterized by lower qualifications, relative advanced age and integration in the sectors with the highest automation potential (industry, retail and public administration) may find themselves in a vulnerable situation, namely in a context of active labour market policies (PAE). It becomes relevant to understand in close connection with working class people what they think relative to post productivist forms of social protection, focusing on three public policy propositions: 1) Participation Income (Atkinson, 1996, pp. 68-69), 2) Job Guarantee (Tcherneva, 2020) and 3) Basic Income.
