About this Unit
Society shapes work and labour markets, but society in turn is influenced by work and labour markets. Key factors are dominant social values and norms as well as economic, technological, demographic and political changes. This unit equips students to analyse and respond effectively to these interactions and changes in a range of contexts. A key theme is the changing patterns and nature of work (paid and unpaid), workforce participation, and the impact on stakeholders such as individuals, families and communities. Future trends and directions in relation to work, society and labour markets are explored.
