School to work transitions should have as an end goal to achieve a decent job. Decent jobs depend on multiple institutional and social arrangements as well as on key individual factors. However, the definition of decent work seems to still overfocus on job conditions such as income. On the other hand, for younger generations, especially those from marginalized groups, decent jobs are hard to reach.
In this episode, Jonas Masdonati shares with us the concept of decent work. He discusses how this notion stems from both the need to find stable, legal, and well paid jobs, but also to find personal and social meaning in work.
Our guest points out how career development and career choices among younger generations will increasingly involve sustainability dimensions, something that will shape the future of work.
