Flexibility in 5.0

Yes. Industry 5.0 is expected to promote more flexible work through remote and hybrid models, improving work-life balance and reducing commuting. There's growing focus on mental health and well-being, as well as EU-supported policies like the right to disconnect, flexible schedules, and expanded care-related benefits. These changes respond not only to childcare needs but also to elder care and personal development. Achieving sustainable work-life balance across the life course will require strong union support and ongoing negotiation with employers.
