The Impact of Digital Transformation on the Sustainability of the Social Security System

The sustainability of social security is an (almost) embryonic concern in social security law. Talking about social security leads us, without much delay, to consider the concern that societies have about the financial sustainability of their social security system. And to the problems that already exist, a new ingredient has been added that puts the current system in crisis and leads us to rethink the forms of financing and the measures that should be adopted to respond to these new realities that derive from digitalization and the automation of procedures. Especially when they lead to a reduction in jobs and, consequently, a reduction in the revenue derived from the contributions that workers and employers pay into the social security system.
