The global labour market is broken

More than half the global labour force is in informal markets and many more are in precarious and short term work.

This session examines why there needs to be a new social contract between workers, government and business and what will happen if there isn’t.[vc_quotes layout=”accordion” quotes=”%5B%7B%22name%22%3A%22Sharan%20Burrow%22%2C%22job_role%22%3A%22General%20secretary%2C%20International%20Trade%20Union%20Confederation%22%2C%22content%22%3A%22Sharan%20Burrow%20is%20the%20general%20secretary%20of%20the%20International%20Trade%20Union%20Confederation%2C%20representing%20200%20million%20workers%20in%20163%20countries%20and%20territories%20with%20332%20national%20affiliates.%5Cn%5CnPreviously%20president%20of%20the%20Australian%20Council%20of%20Trade%20Unions%20(from%202000%20%E2%80%93%202010)%2C%20Burrow%20is%20a%20passionate%20advocate%20and%20campaigner%20for%20social%20justice%2C%20women%E2%80%99s%20rights%2C%20the%20environment%20and%20labour%20law%20reforms%2C%20and%20has%20led%20union%20negotiations%20on%20major%20economic%20reforms%20and%20labour%20rights%20campaigns%20in%20her%20home%20country%20of%20Australia%20and%20globally.%22%2C%22image%22%3A%2243090%22%2C%22linkedin%22%3A%22%22%7D%5D” title=”Speakers” el_class=””][vc_quotes layout=”accordion” quotes=”%5B%7B%22name%22%3A%22Colin%20Tate%22%2C%22job_role%22%3A%22Chief%20executive%2C%20Conexus%20Financial%20%20%22%2C%22content%22%3A%22Tate%20has%20been%20an%20investment%20industry%20media%20publisher%20and%20conference%20producer%20since%201996.%20In%20his%20media%20career%2C%20Tate%20has%20launched%20and%20overseen%20dozens%20of%20print%20and%5Cnelectronic%20publications.%20He%20is%20the%20chief%20executive%20and%20major%20shareholder%20of%20Conexus%20Financial%2C%20which%20was%20formed%20in%202005%2C%20and%20is%20headquartered%20in%20Sydney%2C%20Australia.%5CnThe%20company%20stages%20more%20than%2020%20conferences%20and%20events%20each%20year%20%E2%80%93%5Cnin%20cities%20which%20have%20included%20London%2C%20New%20York%2C%20San%20Francisco%2C%20Los%20Angeles%2C%20Amsterdam%2C%20Beijing%2C%20Sydney%20and%20Melbourne%20%E2%80%93%20and%20publishes%20three%20media%20brands%2C%5Cnincluding%20the%20global%20website%20and%20strategy%20newsletter%20for%20global%5Cninstitutional%20investors%20conexust1f.flywheelstaging.com.%20One%20of%20the%20company%E2%80%99s%20signature%20events%20is%20the%20bi-annual%20Fiduciary%20Investors%20Symposium.%20Conexus%20Financial%E2%80%99s%5Cnevents%20aim%20to%20place%20the%20responsibilities%20of%20investors%20in%20wider%20societal%2C%20and%20political%20contexts%2C%20as%20well%20as%20promote%20the%20long-term%20stability%20of%20markets%20and%20sustainable%5Cnretirement%20incomes.%20Tate%20served%20for%20seven%20years%20on%20the%20board%20of%20Australia%E2%80%99s%20most%20high%20profile%20homeless%20charity%2C%20The%20Wayside%20Chapel%3B%20and%20he%20has%20underwritten%20the%5Cnwelfare%20of%2060%2C000%20people%20in%2028%20villages%20throughout%20Uganda%20via%20The%20Hunger%20Project.%22%2C%22image%22%3A%2243057%22%2C%22linkedin%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fcolin-tate-839a5a181%2F%3ForiginalSubdomain%3Dau%22%7D%5D” title=”Moderator” el_class=””][vc_empty_space height=”10px”]
