Resumo

Este artigo examina abordagens inovadoras à segurança social dos trabalhadores num contexto de digitalização acelerada e de transformações do mercado de trabalho. O objetivo é identificar como as ferramentas e estratégias digitais podem aumentar a adaptabilidade, a eficiência e a inclusão dos sistemas de segurança social na Ucrânia. O estudo utiliza uma combinação de análise jurídica, revisão comparativa e síntese, com base em experiências internacionais da União Europeia e de países líderes como a Suécia, Dinamarca e Alemanha. As principais conclusões destacam como as plataformas digitais, as tecnologias blockchain, a inteligência artificial e os portais de serviços integrados reduzem os encargos administrativos, melhoram a transparência e personalizam a prestação de serviços. O artigo analisa as estratégias da União Europeia, incluindo a Lei dos Serviços Digitais, o Programa Europa Digital e as inovações a nível nacional. A conclusão enfatiza uma abordagem holística e centrada no ser humano que tenha em conta as disparidades regionais, as lacunas de alfabetização digital e a proteção de dados. A novidade do estudo reside em oferecer uma estrutura jurídico-analítica abrangente que sintetiza as melhores práticas globais e propõe estratégias adaptativas adaptadas ao contexto socioeconómico da Ucrânia. As recomendações para investigação futura incluem a análise do impacto dos sistemas de serviços sociais baseados em IA e a integração intersectorial entre assistência à saúde, tributação e segurança social.
