Social hållbarhet i organisationer och arbetsliv

Education facts

Code: 4SO449

The course explores social sustainability in organizations and working life from various perspectives. It examines both the conditions and obstacles for strengthening social sustainability, drawing on theoretical frameworks as well as empirical examples. Particular focus is placed on two themes. The first concerns the role of labour market actors and legislation in regulating working conditions, wages, and employee influence in Sweden and Europe. The second addresses different perspectives on gender mainstreaming and diversity efforts, as well as how increasingly blurred boundaries between work and leisure, workplace and home, and productive and reproductive labour shape contemporary working life.
