Looking ahead to a future of solidarity
CNP Assurances and The Boson Project, a start-up committed to delivering change, launched The Care Project, a forward-looking study of how society is being transformed. It secured contributions from experts from a multitude of different backgrounds and encouraged figures from the worlds of insurance, human resources, digital and research to react to them. The take-aways from a year of meetings between thinkers and economic participants were compiled in a white paper entitled “Rifts and new horizons: redrawing the lines of solidarity in France”.
Key theme : division
Division was a leitmotiv in all the discussions, but the division that emerged is not always between generations, socio-professional categories or the various functions of a business as we expected. It is more between those who are capable of adapting to a changing world and those who can’t. The goal is now to help everyone to understand the changes by ramping up lifelong training. In addition, the changing nature of work – with the dominance of salaried employment under threat and the growing prominence of portfolio workers – will entail an overhaul of welfare and support systems, especially with the digital revolution. In the future, social protection is bound to require greater ownership from individuals with a keen sense of collective responsibility. Drawing inspiration from this, CNP Assurances has designed new forms of lifelong cover.

The future ?
Gig economy, disintermediation, flexibility…
With each passing day, our society is becoming more and more fragmented. The divide is widening. It separates those capable of grasping the radical changes sweeping through society from those who are simply afraid. And those who delight in the hyperpersonalisation of life’s journey from those who will be left by the wayside. Building a future in which no one is left behind and laying the foundations for a social protection model that brings us together is what CNP Assurances seeks to achieve through its reflective approach and its transformation. That is its best reason for making us look forward to all our futures – whatever they may hold.
