The relation to work in a variety of settings, from industrial production to offices or mass distribution, is been transformed by technological and organizational innovations which are also bringing to the fore major issues of fairness and justice at work. Academic debates have started to address the future of work mostly from the perspective of jobs and skills, but there are numerous other dimensions to be debated such as increased job precariousness and inequalities, including gender and other discriminations. The current working environment is marked by persistent gender inequalities. This session invites communications addressing the future of work from the supranational perspective of fostering knowing justice in the Anthropocene focusing mainly, but not exclusively, on how these inequalities manifest in different countries, under the influence of different socio-cultural contexts.
This session also invites reflection on the challenges for the future.
What are the current and future challenges to ensuring gender equality in the workplace?
How can we anticipate and overcome these challenges to build an inclusive future?
What best practices have been identified that could help shape the professional world of tomorrow?
What successful policies and initiatives can be shared and adapted to other contexts?
What support and development programs can promote gender equality?
This session aims to create an inclusive discussion space for participants from various backgrounds and sociological schools to share their field experiences, research, and perspectives on these issues. We hope to explore and identify opportunities for reflection that could lead to concrete actions promoting inclusiveness and gender equality in tomorrow's professional world.
