Description
Irish ready-to-wear Primark is set to open a new store in the Mondeville 2 shopping centre near Caen in Calvados in autumn 2025, creating 150 jobs. Spanning approximately 4,000 m², the store will be one of the largest units in the mall.
The opening of Primark is part of a strategy to renovate the centre, which attracts no fewer than five million visitors per year. A strong influx of customers is expected, particularly in the early autumn months. A few factsheets have already been published on Primark France as part of business expansion restructuring processes : Primark 2025 - FRPrimark 2022 - FRPrimark 2016 - FR

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.
