Where does the poverty reduction fit into the future of work?

The 2030 Project

Over the past 9 episodes, we’ve framed our discussion around Canada’s Federal Poverty Reduction Strategy that’s based on three foundational pillars. DIGNITY OPPORTUNITY and INCLUSION And... RESILIENCE AND SECURITY. And it’s on the final pillar where we focus this Roundtable episode of The 2030 Project. RESILIENCE and SECURITY are going to be key components in the recovery and reckoning stages as we learn to live in this era of COVID-19. Nowhere will it be more important than in the workplace. What will our labour look like? What will a career look like in an emerging gig economy? And where are the opportunities in the future of work to help us reduce, if not eradicate poverty? Our guests for this episode are Pedro Barata, Executive Director at Future Skills Centre, Jessica Thornton is a Principal and co-founder at Creative Futures. AND Lisa Taylor is President at Challenge Factory.
