Decent Work for All? Confronting Precarity and Poverty in the Sustainable Development Agenda

📅 Date: Wednesday 3rd December
🕒 Time: 3pm (GMT)
📍 Location: https://cassyni.com/events/9Dcu9ACXmU5uNPxKCk1GaR?4u2zch 

Can sustainability goals and job security truly coexist—or are they fundamentally at odds? Why does employment no longer guarantee protection from poverty across Europe? And how can labour law and HRM evolve to safeguard workers amid rapid technological and ecological change?

Join us for a dynamic and thought-provoking webinar tackling these urgent questions, and more. Together, we’ll explore strategies to reduce precarity and poverty and advance the objectives of SDG 8: Promoting Decent Work and Economic Growth for All, as well as SDG 1: No Poverty.

Featured Speakers

  • Professor Edoardo Ales (University of Naples ‘Parthenope’, Italy)
    Talk: “Precariousness and Twin Transitions"

 Professor Ales will discuss the key issues related to the Green Transition and the quality of work.

  •  Professor Dario Sciulli (University of Chieti-Pescara, Italy)
  • Professor Chiara Mussida (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Italy)
  • Talk: 'Working but Poor: Understanding Low Pay and In-Work Poverty Across the EU'
