DESCRIPTION
The Advancing Development Goals International Contest for Graduate Students
The Challenges of Employment
“Employment is regarded as a tool to improve living standards and eradicate poverty, but the question is: what kind of employment will nurture sustainable growth and development?
The Challenge
The idea is to gather contributions that are both theoretically grounded and offer pragmatic solutions to a relevant international development problem stemming from an
interdisciplinary collaboration between 3 to 5 enrolled master students from anywhere in the world.
We invite teams of students to:
- identify a challenge stemming from employment;
- construct an interdisciplinary analysis on how it affects different aspects of development in a specific (but transposable) context;
- propose innovation at the policy, practice, process or technology levels turning the challenge into development opportunity.
