Livelihoods, informality, and the changing nature of work.
The legacy call invited contributions for Volume 3 on employment, informal work, livelihoods, and Namibia's wider social justice challenges.
Work, livelihood, and inequality
The global economy is facing overlapping crises: debt, climate, energy, inflation, unemployment, and pressure on livelihoods. These crises intensify insecurity for workers and communities.
Namibia continues to face the paradox of plenty. Despite vast natural resources and high volumes of primary export production, poverty, unemployment, and inequality remain persistent.
The call welcomes contributions that examine informal labour markets, livelihood strategies, platform work, labour rights, youth unemployment, gender and work, trade union organising, and community-based alternatives.
Areas of contribution
Contributions may approach the theme through labour, livelihoods, policy, organising, extractive economies, or everyday experiences of inequality. The list below is indicative rather than exhaustive.
