Summary New forms of work, technological change, demographic and epidemiological conditions, poverty and inequality, pose challenges and require social security, keep pace with change, diversify and adapt for the benefit of the whole population. In this context, international solutions have emerged that focus on new ways to complement or strengthen social security systems to react to current and future job transformations, and consider technology as a social product to be controlled through the social agenda, to achieve a just transition, underpinned by solidarity, the principles of social justice, social inclusion and human well-being. Thus, by considering a package of minimum benefits to all people, the social protection floor makes clear the role of the government and the private sector in the provision, financing and regulation of the system. Universal basic income is a response to uncertainty about the number of jobs available in an increasingly digital economy and the idea of democratising wealth, promoting social inclusion and the autonomy of people with fewer resources. Both solutions, with a social dimension, aim to harmonise the adaptation process in a changing world, to tackle the commercialisation of work, the protection of those who are not part of an employment relationship, and to cover the different stages of people’s lifecycle.
