Description
LogiRAIL, a subsidiary of the public company RENFE specializing in logistics and technological services for the railway sector, expects to create 400 jobs by 2024 as part of Renfe's plan to internalise technological services provided by third parties, and to provide them from different parts of the country. This employment will be created in different technological centres in various sparsely populated but logistically relevant areas of Spain in the railway network: 15 to 25 jobs in Alcázar de San Juan (Ciudad Real), 11 in Teruel, 40 in Miranda de Ebro (Burgos), 85 in Mérida (Badajoz) and 180 in Linares (Jaén), among other places.
The plan to internalize and relocate these functions has already started and the 400 positions will be created gradually.

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.
