Description
Safran Aero Boosters, a Belgian aeronautical and space engines manufacturer, will hire 100 workers. It recently expanded its business in Belgium by opening a new high-tech facility in Marchin. The facility will be specialised in the production of fins for aeroplanes that will be used in compressors.
Initially, the facility will be producing around 400,000 parts per year, which will, over time, be increased to 700,000 per year. The company states that it will reduce its dependency on foreign production over time by building these parts within Belgium. At the moment, 50 employees are employed, which will ultimately grow to 150 in total.

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.
