Abstract

This article discusses some of those subjects, divided in two parts: in the first, it accomplishes a survey of the main transformations the world of the work is passing through, pointing out some of its social consequences; in the second, it presents some aspects of the debate which is going on, mainly in France, on the centralization of labor and the perspectives as for its future.
In the nineties, those difficulties are much more present in the world of labor,
characterized by technological; organizational and institutional transfor mations; definitions of the work (so much in the marketing, as of the worker profile), because a lot of professions have been extinct and new ones have cone up, in working places more andmore favorable to machines and robots, reducing the worker's space more and more. Another interesting point to be analysed is the growing space conquered by the women in the world of labor and in the formation of the family income.
