In connection to the 100th anniversary of the ILO in 2019, the Nordic Council of Ministers arranged a conference to debate the future of work in the Nordics. The event was held on the 4th-5th of April in Reykjavik and was the last in a series of four annual conferences. The debates centered on the changing labour market and whether the Nordic model will be able to adapt to this. The conference lasted two days, each with a particular theme: 1) Future of Work – where the future of the Nordic model was discussed 2) Gender Equality – where the debate revolved around the challenges and solutions regarding the inequalities between men and women on the labour market. The programme included perspectives from all the Nordic countries, as well as from international organisations such as the ILO and the OECD, international companies, Nordic labour market authorities, social partners and companies.
In the runup to the ILO's 100th anniversary in 2019, the ILO asked the Nordic countries to contribute to the debate about how the future of work can be shaped. the Stockholm conference gathered more than 120 participants, and was number three out of four annual Nordic conferences. The debate was divided into four main themes: 1) How will the technological developments affect the Labour market? 2) How are the Nordic countries preparing for a more digitised and automated labour market? 3) How are companies and industries affected by the technological development? 4) How to deal with the need for skills? The programme included perspectives from all of the Nordic countries, from multinational organisations such as the OECD and the ILO, international companies such as McKinsey and Google, Nordic labour market authorities, social partners and companies undergoing changes.

This is a study of the search for the essential nature of social work practice. The text is divided into two parts. The first part presents a theoretical analysis of the intra-professional discourse in search of a generic study-object for social work practice. This is followed by an empirical application of the theoretical findings for the field of occupational social work. issus, practice traditions and prevailing dilemmas of current practice theory, this study examines social work practice in Sweden and the USA today. The project is built upon a qualitative research method based upon social work tradition of the use-of-self as the instrument of practice and complex triangulation design which builds upon a practioner-researcher perspective. re-examination of social work practice with relationship to the centrality of victimization processes and the relevance of employment for social work clients. The study concludes with a proposal for a new Social Justice Model for social work practice to be founded upon basic human rights in the private and public spheres of everyday life as the concrete manifestation of the practice of social work with issues of victimization.
