Conditions of Work: Decent Work, Dignity, Unemployment - Underemployment, and Precarious Work
Conditions of Work: Decent Work, Dignity, Unemployment/Underemployment, and Precarious Work
Project Summary
Working involves interactions with contexts and people that reflect very diverse conditions, some of which can be very challenging. To explore the context of work, our research team has been investigating decent work, dignity at work, unemployment/underemployment, and precarious work. Individually and collectively, these issues reflect the importance of attending to the resources and barriers that people face at work. These projects involve theoretical contributions, empirical research, and policy advocacy.
Approach
The approach that we are using in these projects is informed by social justice and human rights, which provides a cohering set of values to guide these initiatives.
