Course Summary
This course focuses on the causes and consequences for changes in the world of work. It seeks to broaden your understanding of the future of work and employment by considering the role of changes in business practices, labour market structures and public policies on employment, wages and skills development. The course draws upon a range of disciplines and perspectives to examine the transformation of work and the implications for worker experiences and changing skills demand. Drawing upon the UN's Sustainability Development Goals related to Decent Work, Gender Inequality and Reduced Inequality, the course considers how changes to the world of work are impacting on employment and labour market opportunities for First Nations Peoples, women, migrants and other groups who have experienced labour market marginalisation. This course also introduces you to the major Future of Work debates and encourages you to critically evaluate the arguments and evidence underpinning these debates. The course is designed to help you develop critical thinking, collaboration and research skills needed by industry.
