Several future reviews have been published in Finland and elsewhere in the world. They have not, however, described changes from the perspective of occupational safety and health and well-being at work, nor proposed any actions to be taken by the occupational safety and health administration. The Working Life 2025 review responds to this need. The future review looks at working life comprehensively starting from the question what kind of work will be done and who will be the future employees and ends up considering the employees' health and safety at work, well-being at work and the effects of new technologies on work.
The Working Life 2025 review has been written by looking back in time and following the foreseeable development trends up to the year 2025. The writers have placed themselves in year 2025 and looked at the situation then. The review does not describe what the working life in 2015 should look like or what the most favourable alternative would be. The writers have chosen the future outlook that in their opinion is the most probable on the basis of the present development trends.
In addition to the changes in work and working life, the review presents actions to be taken by occupational safety and health administration today in order to be able to meet the future challenges in time. The aim is also to avoid undesired development or to achieve a course of development that is better than expected.
The views presented in the text are based on a comprehensive review of literature, several separate articles and background memoranda, conversations, seminars, workshops, hearings of the personnel of the OSH department and the writers' own views. The analyses and actions presented are not official positions of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health.
The future review has been written in the Department for Occupational Safety and Health of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health. The strategic planning group of the Policy Unit takes primary responsibility for the review. All personnel of the Department have taken part in producing the content.
