This is the latest publication from GLOW members:
In a nutshell, the article outlines collaborative offering opportunities for sustainable livelihoods in a work education cloud collaboration, Project SLiC (Sustainable Livelihoods Collaboration). GLOW researchers joined forces across nation-states in the Global South/North to share cloud resources, focused on teaching a postgraduate course, Sustainable Livelihoods.
After a brief introduction to sustainable livelihoods via the subject’s history, this chapter illustrates how a humanitarian Work and Organizational Psychology (WOP) based around Sustainable Livelihoods would embrace the following: (1) living wages and fair trade; (2) livelihoods across the vast and frequently ‘illegal’ informal sector; (3) inclusive social enterprises; (4) interfaces with digital automation and Basic Income; (5) multi-faceted gift economies; and (6) shifts to livelihoods that help to protect ecosystems, including flora and fauna on and in land and sea. Synthesizing (1) through (6), the chapter concludes by calling on the UN to make Sustainable Livelihoods a global development goal in the next round of goals post-2030.
This is a book written by GLOW members. It contains various topics relating to precarious work, and it is edited by Stuart C. Carr, Veronica Hopner, Darrin Hodgetts, Megan Young. This book can be included in the organizational psychology curriculum and is a useful guide for policymakers who intend to implement decent work policy.
