- to point out areas where changes and measures of support are required
- to develop materials for initial and in-service training

The "Social and Human Capital in the Knowledge Society" Conference is Available On-line

30 November 2002
Over 50% of all workers in the EU now use a computer for their job and there are fewer and fewer jobs where at least basic digital skills are not required. From that point of view, digital skills are almost as essential as basic literacy to be employed today.
These were some of the issues explored at the Social and Human Capital in the Knowledge Society Conference, held in Brussels in 28 and 29 October 2002. The presentations and proceedings of the Conference are now available on-line. Among other topics, the Conference focused on how companies providing employment increasingly need to devote an important part of their resources to ensure that employees are able to work with recent technological or organisational developments. This investment is today just as necessary as physical equipment. The increased rate of structural change and the greater tendency to change employment several times during the working life adds complications. Companies may be reluctant to invest in human capital if the human capital in question leaves for another job shortly afterwards. Just as formal education is seen as a social benefit, which in most countries the state sees as its role to provide, training for employment might also need to be seen as a public good.
