What is Work Doing To Families and Communities?

This seminar brings together leading experts in the fields of ethics, family, work and social research to examine the effects of an increasing workload on society.

What are the costs and the effects of such an increase? How many hours should we work? What does this mean for families? How will communities deal with the demands of increased working hours? How is it impacting on healthcare providers and carers? What are the alternatives?

Keynote speaker Leslie Cannold, author of "What No Baby?" is joined by former head of the Australian Institute of Family Studies Don Edgar, Juliet Bourke from the Taskforce on the Costs of Caring, and speakers from organisations that volunteers are the lifeblood of to discuss the issues the changing workplace regulations are throwing the face of communities, families and individuals.

The ethicl and moral dimensions of work and society will also be examined by Dr Cannold and leading religious workers such as Bill Crews

Presented by Working NSW, the new research centre supported by Unions NSW
