Assumptions

  • That the current realities faced by young people in Canada and the US should be of particular concern in the context of rethinking work.
  • That we are living in an era where rapid change and increasing instability are the norm.
  • That an aging population will lead to a decrease in the number of people actively engaged in the workforce.
  • That precarious work is mostly negative for employees and leads to instability even when precarious work is a choice.
