Raport privind impactul digitalizării și al evoluțiilor în domeniul IT asupra drepturilor sociale și a coeziunii sociale (Consiliul Europei, 2022)
Report on the Impact of Digitalisation and IT Developments on Social Rights and Social Cohesion (Council of Europe, 2022)

Summary/Abstract: This is an overview of the report prepared by Gaabriel Tavits and Arman Sargsyan for the European Committee for Social Cohesion of the Council of Europe. The report tackles the way in which digitalisation impacts various societal aspects with a special focus on social rights and social cohesion. The aim of the report is to serve as future reference paper in this filed. There are various aspects that need a special focus from the point of view of accessibility and availability of technologies as well as the way in which they shape the future of our societies. It is only natural to adopt new technologies, however, in this era of challenges, whether at the global (climate change) or regional level (armed conflicts), it is essential to ensure the development of inclusive societies, in which all individuals experience the fulfilment of their rights. The European Social Charter provides a framework which sets rights that have to be protected and enforced by states. Since human interactions are changing following digitalisation, the interactions between states and individuals will also have to change and keep up with all developments, while also focusing on aspects such as confidentiality, data protection, education and ensuring equal access for all.
