Young people of today are the future drivers of our economy, our society and are the next generation to serve as stewards of our planet.  They are the next set of leaders for our governments, employers- and workers-organizations and have a significant role to play in the discussion on how to shape the future that we need as a society.

The panel will provide an opportunity to develop a better understanding of the youth perspective and reaction to the discussions on “Work and Society” and “Decent Work for All”.  Including such questions as what are the challenges and opportunities young people are facing as they make the transition into the world of work?  What do they see as the path forward to achieve sustainable inclusive growth for future generations? The panel will provide their views on the upcoming discussions on the “Organization of Work” and what does it mean for young people assuming that employment relationship as the normal contractual arrangement are being called into question? As well as what their views are regarding the “Governance Over the Way of Work”.  What new or alternative governance structures are needed to regulate and promote work effectively?
