A New Wave of Independence

Abstract

Work belongs to the everyday life of an industrial society. A crisis in the work world is also society’s crisis. The information society will also be shaped by the work world; between the economic sector and individual fields of activity, however, there will be a large degree of movement. The proportion of service related jobs (and in turn the share of information and communication associated jobs within this sector) of the total employment market will increase. This is one of the central features of the structural change and we will be going into it in detail; the same holds for the changes in the disposition of time and social patterns, which are part of the same coin.
