With the end of modern society, new issues arise and link to unemployment: the growing instability that brings about (and entwine with) uncertainty and modifies the relationship subject-society; new inequalities and new terms of social protection; the elements of integration and social bonds that are under discussion and ask the subject new types of responsibility in and towards the society. The article aims at analysing unemployment with reference to social change by discussing its new characters and defining the new work-life balances which are under construction at individual and societal level.
