Learning Objectives
The course intends to focus on the phenomenon of work and its aspects of social organization. The objective is to examine the characteristics of the labor market, the most relevant productive sectors, the emerging employment system, the most widespread risk profiles within the post-industrial and fragmented regulatory society. At the end of the course the student is able to master the socio-working vocabulary and to master the key themes that represent the fulcrum of the topics proposed by the texts being examined and developed in class. He has knowledge about the relationship between work and the flexibilisation processes of the labor market, between transformations in the labor market and new welfare policies.
KNOWLEDGE: The course offers a sociological analysis of the transformations of work that have characterized our age; the peculiarities of the production model and the different forms of social exchange that regulate work; the conditions and contents of professional experience and the ways in which this contributes to structural individual identity. The adoption of a comparative historical perspective allows, also through the reference to classical authors of sociological thought, to retrace the evolution of the world of industrial production and its main social implications, while the comparison with the most recent contributions proposed in the field of sociology of work will allow to introduce in the course a reflection on current events with particular reference to the complex relationship between work and social inclusion.
SKILLS: The course develops the skills to analyze the relationships between work and society, and in particular the way in which the characteristics of work and the labor market affect individuals and society. These skills are useful for those who plan, analyze and verify labor policies; to those who work in the field of human resources management, interest representation, or services, public and private, of intermediation between job supply and demand; to those who study society and its transformation processes.

In the first part of the course, a general framework of the discipline is provided and the main theoretical and methodological problems related to the analysis of the labor market and the relations between work and society are addressed, through the adoption of a theoretical-interpretative perspective based on the main international research, classical and contemporary, and through a comparative analysis, at European level and beyond, of the main socio-economic indicators.
In the second part of the course, through seminars, the relationship between social inclusion and work is studied in depth, both theoretically and empirically, with particular reference to some disadvantaged categories. Through this participatory and active teaching experience, it will also be possible to deepen some current issues, also through micro research experiences, or meetings with actors operating in the sector of social and labor policies.
