In this seminar, Guy addresses the collapse of industrial citizenship since the 1970s and the global transformations which are making inequalities and insecurities unsustainable. Guy explains why the desirable egalitarian response to the problems caused by globalisation should be a strategy to build occupational citizenship. This should be based on rights to economic security and institutions to enable everybody to develop their capabilities and to work whilst respecting the ecological imperatives of the 21st century.Details to be announced.

Professor Guy Standing , Professor of Economic Security, Dept of Social and Policy Sciences, University of Bath. Guy Standing has just completed a book on occupations, linked to the global transformation of work and labour. Recurrent themes of his research, often drawing on extensive household and workplace surveys, have been the insecurities faced by workers in the wake of reforms of labour law, labour regulation and social protection, and the rationale for moving towards unconditional income transfers. A key question linking these themes is whether or not a global labour market model is emerging.
