Work, Change and Workers

Focusing on the evolving nature of work, this book explores how contemporary demands reshape both workers and their skills. It analyzes the interplay between changing work requirements and individual engagement through diverse disciplinary lenses, including psychology, sociology, and anthropology. The research highlights the implications for vocational education and lifelong learning, stemming from a long-term project initiated in the 1990s. Supported by various funding sources and contributions from workplaces, it aims to deepen understanding of work as both a social institution and a personal vocation.
