All over the world, work makes up a large part of life. SDG 8 - "Decent work and economic growth" aims to ensure that work is organized in a humane way and that it is adequately paid.
In this online seminar series, we would like to take a closer look at the Tanzanian context: What does "decent work" mean here? And is there a price to pay for economic growth?
In addition to the economic side, historical, social and cultural aspects of labour will also be examined: Work and profession play important roles in shaping one's identity in Tanzania - as elsewhere. What role did work play in the past and what role does it play today in achieving a good life? And how do Tanzanians see the future of their work and their children's work?
Apart from knowledge transfer, this series of lectures aims to foster an understanding of the role of work in Tanzania that goes beyond clichés.
