Description
With an investment of 3 million Euro, event organiser Live it Well Events will create an artificial beach in Mangualde (close to Viseu) and hire 120 employees. The main partners in this project are Banco Espirito Santo (BES) and Portugal Telecom (PT).
The choice of location has to do with the socio-demographic characteristics of the region. It is the most densely inhabited in the inner region and the population increases in the summer due to the return of emigrants. The municipal council of Mangualde also welcomed the initiative. The inauguration of the new and the first European artificial beach is planned for June/July 2011.

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.
