50428 - The Broader Impacts of Work Trends

Description

What are the broader impacts of trends at work on experiences outside of work? Changes at work in contemporary capitalist societies such as shifts in insecurity, workplace inequality, remote work, automation, job quality, and access to decent benefits rebound on other institutions such as community, education, and families. Those broader impacts are pathways through which trends at work affect overall levels of societal inequality and insecurity. This session brings together leading scholars of the broader impacts of work and focuses in particular on how trends at work affect societal inequality and insecurity. Panelists will identify work trends that exacerbate inequality and insecurity, but also highlight trends that may reduce inequality and insecurity.
