Report Scope
For the next year or so, the key challenge will be to deal with Covid-19 and its legacy. The exit from the pandemic, the high unemployment and the potential bankruptcies, the economic recovery, the handling of public and private debt: these issues are what will make the headlines and will be the main topics of political attention.
As important as this short-term challenge is, structural problems pre-dating Covid-19 are still present and have been made even more acute by the pandemic. So, when we were asked in January 2020 by President Macron to organize and head a commission addressing these structural challenges and were granted free rein in choosing the commission’s members and full independence in stating our conclusions, we accepted this mission with enthusiasm.
In agreement with the President, we have chosen to focus on three long-term structural challenges: the climate change, the economic inequalities, and the demographic challenge. Technological change is a central aspect of these three themes, being both part of the problem and part of the solution.1
