Description
Infans Group, a French child day care, is going bankrupt, rendering 140 of it's employees redundant. Since March, the group has faced financial difficulties. 7 child day care centres have closed, and 10 will follow.
The Group has bought in 2023 several childcare places from Neokids. It originally trained childcare professionals online. Only nine nurseries could be taken over. Social partners have not been involved, which has been criticised for the lack of respect for collective agreements. No works council was put in place despite the legal necessity to do so.

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.
