Description
Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP) has announced the creation of 1200 jobs over the next three years as part of its 'Social Project 2021-2025'. The project aims to increase the number of carers, with the creation of 885 additional jobs to cope with labour force shortages (nurses, physiotherapists, midwives, radio manipulators). In addition, 300 jobs will be created to develop professional promotions and enable more care assistants to become nurses. Finally, 115 positions will be added in 2021 to strengthen the services willing to experiment with new ways of organising work, with slightly longer days (8 hours instead of 7 hours 36 minutes) but with more days off.
The use of fixed-term contracts must also be drastically reduced, with the regularisation of workers who have been employed for more than two years and the titularisation of future carers hired. Finally, the 'Social Project' also plans to increase housing and childcare provision.
These recruitments are linked to the resources released by the government in July 2020 (€8.2 billion) to raise the salaries of hospital staff and to finance 15,000 new hires, half of which will be for job creation and half to fill existing but unfilled positions.
The largest employer in the Île-de-France region, AP-HP has 100,000 professionals, including 52,000 nurses and paramedics, 12,300 doctors and 3,600 interns. A former reorganisation was recorded in 2004, with 900 job cuts.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
