Work without Economic Growth? Workers’ Protection in a Greener and Fairer E

UniDistance Suisse

Je 27.10.2022, 18:00 - 19:00

New economic theories depart from the economic growth model that consists in stimulating consumption and production in order to create jobs.

“Degrowth” and more recently “Post-Growth” are used as new concepts for movements that put values, such as the environment, equality or care at the top of the economic agenda.

But if creating jobs and improving material conditions are not the main purpose of the economy anymore, what does this mean for workers and their labour rights? How can the law ensure a smooth transition towards a greener and fairer economy for workers?

In this webinar, Professor Nicolas Bueno (UniDistance Suisse) will introduce the notion of "Post-Growth" from the books of Tim Jackson (Post Growth, 2021) and Kate Raworth (Doughnut Economics, 2018) and discuss how work could look like in a post-growth world. Professor Beryl ter Haar (University of Warsaw) will discuss how labour law could support the transition towards a greener and fairer economy and ensure workers’ protection. Ruwan Subasinghe (International Transport Workers' Federation) will explain how workers’ movements anticipate and react to a transition towards a greener and fairer economy.
