The workshop aims to share the results of the 2-year research: “EMPOWERING ETHNIC MINORITY YOUTH IN VIETNAM TO RE-VISION THE FUTURE OF DECENT WORK” (REWORK PROJECT)
Key research questions in the REWORK project:
– What is our understanding of “Decent Work” for ethnic minority youth aged 18-25 in Vietnam, one of the fastest-growing economies in the world?
– Factors related to “Decent Work”: Results obtained from over 1000 survey questionnaires.
– The relationship between empowerment and access to “Decent Work”: Results from 105 in-depth interviews.
– Transformation and self-recognition in ethnic minority youth through dialogue/collaborative methods. How to effectively apply dialogue/collaborative methods to different research subjects.
– Factors promoting professional development, policy, businesses, and training institutions.
“Decent Work” is not only a Sustainable Development Goal of the United Nations, but it also means creating a healthy working environment where every individual and community has the opportunity to thrive. This becomes important globally as work is increasingly precarious in terms of income and safety for an individual to have a stable life both physically and mentally. “Decent Work” is the goal aiming at empowering and enhancing the position of vulnerable groups. This group is directly affected by issues of physical and mental health, poverty, and inequality.
The workshop will take place over 2 days, and the Organizing Committee sincerely invites all lecturers, educators, researchers, policymakers, employers, and interested students to participate in the workshop.
The workshop will share and discuss research results with lecturers, educators, researchers, policymakers, employers, and students.
Lecturers, researchers, policymakers, employers, and students can find out more about the Rework project on the British Academy website, ongoing project site, emerging digital network on facebook. .
Upon registration, the Organizing Committee will send the Zoom participation link.
