Conference: Family Life and the Changing World of Work [15-16.09.2022]

Labour markets have been undergoing profound transformations. Workers of the 21st century are, on the one hand, much more flexible in the way where, when and how they work. On the other hand, however, they have to invest much more effort in preventing the depreciation of skills, dealing with changes in their work schedules and maintaining continuous employment. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, and its outbreak responses, escalated uncertainty at the core of personal lives. The possibility of losing one’s job and/or reducing the standard of living is a widespread renewed source of concern in an unpredictably changing world of work. All these changes seriously affect the conditions in which young adults form families and raise children and may have long-lasting repercussions for fertility, union stability as well as the health and well-being of partners, parents and children.

This Conference aims at bringing together scholars who examine the multidimensional effects of labour market developments on families and their members across various institutional settings.

The Family Life and the Changing World of Work Conference will be held at the Faculty of Economic Sciences, University of Warsaw on September 15-16, 2022.
