Long Abstract:

In line with the theme of the conference, ‘crisis in Anthropocene’, this panel we will explore the issue of crisis in the world of work. Focussing specifically on the spheres of informal economy and/or social reproduction, the panel will unpack how recent changes in these spheres - including during COVID-19 - have contributed to engendering the current crisis in the world of work and will reflect on how this may manifest in different regions. Each of the papers in the panel advances a distinct, although related, framework to explore this common issue, and the panel discussion will be geared towards integrating these distinct insights to develop a coherent framework of analysis on crisis in the world of work. The papers will specifically draw from the experience of the economies in the Global South to inform our understanding of crisis. The key questions that the panel will engage with are the following: how does one theoretically grapple with the issue of crisis in the world of work, including during the COVID-19 pandemic? How can one develop a South-centric lens for this analysis? How can these insights be productively employed to inform both the current research on crisis and the world of work and policy direction regarding the future of work?
