Completed Projects
WeAll, Social and Economic Sustainability of Future Working Life (2016-2020)
University of Helsinki, Hanken School of Economics and Jyväskylä University School of Business and Economics.
Funding: Strategy Research Council at the Academy of Finland
The WeAll project explores factors that support and, on the other hand, restrict the opportunities of different people and diverse groups in working life. Demographic changes, regional differences, the reconciling of work and private life, as well as organisational and management practices, all affect these opportunities. It addresses how age, gender, class, ethnicity, sexuality, and location have an impact on working life. The collaboration and dialogue with stakeholders promotes the co-production of knowledge on equalities and inequalities in working life, and on well-being at work.
