  • Summary

  • There are many trends that currently define the work landscape. Many people around the world, especially younger generations, are frustrated with the nature of work, asking big questions such as: what’s the purpose of work, leading to the rise of an anti-work movement. We have also seen a rise in people, especially women, taking on unpaid care work which limits their access to the labour market, relegating them to low-income and insecure employment. And there is the youth unemployment epidemic, with devastating consequences in many parts of the world, especially South Africa. Article 13 of UDHR states that everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment. Is this right a lived reality for people? If not, what can be done to make it real? We will discuss this and more with Sharmi Surianarain, Chief Impact Officer at Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator, and Kgomotso Mufamadi, Lawyer and Head of Industrial and Employee Relations, BMW Group SA.
