A social contract is a voluntary agreement between two parties based on mutual welfare and security.
we collectively have an interest of economic growth for all,
our society has viewed an individual as productive when they are contributing to society through working and unproductive when he or she is unable to contribute due to illness, age, or disability. Those deemed unable to be productive must be supported by a safety net provided by either the government or jointly by their previous employer and the government.
People are educated earlier in life and once deemed educated, barring an accident or illness, typically remain productive until retirement age for the society.
if you work hard, society seem to promise to protect and keep you.
A new social contract should prioritize the creation of a safety net that favors both productivity in individuals and quality of life. A new social contract should frame education as frequent or ongoing past the age of 20, necessarily relevant or affixed to change, whether desired or demanded by an individual’s circumstances, more efficient than our current models, and more affordable. A new social contract should also have mechanisms to protect contingent workers with access to affordable healthcare, disability insurance, unemployment coverage, and sick pay. It should not restrict entrepreneurs from leveraging this contingent workforce in order to enact and support innovative ideas that do more with less, creating financial, social, and environmental value, like the collaborative economy.
