Abstract

The article proposes an interdisciplinary theoretical-methodological framework to investigate the transformation of the meaning of work in contemporaneity. Based on a Weberian matrix, it discusses the profession's capacity to provide meaning to work through three dimensions: the position of professions in the labor market, changes in the repertoires of professional life, and the importance of professional identity in the social and political integration of workers. This discussion is followed by an analysis of the evolution of macroeconomic indicators in advanced economies, examining sectoral changes and their impacts on the volume and type of employment. Through a literature review and recent data, the study contributes to a research agenda that combines the perspective of the sociology of professions with the Keynesian analysis of economic aggregates.
