The issue of ‘citizenship, work and the economy’ is often neglected in everyday discussions of citizenship. But a moment’s reflection should demonstrate how important it is. The vast majority of us will spend the bulk of our adult lives working in some context or another, and our engagement with economic activity more generally is obvious (and not just as consumers).

Many young people are also intimately tied up with work. School children often have part-time evening, weekend or holiday jobs of their own. They are all likely to spend some time on work-experience programs. Their parents will normally have to engage with work to support their families. But do they know much about their rights and responsibilities at work?

This course explores aspects of work, including child labor and its relationship to citizenship for those teaching this subject in secondary schools.
