Degrowth Group Assembly Process

Reproduction and Work

About

Working group formed for the International Conference on Degrowth 2014.

How is work organized in a degrowth society (formal, informal work, care, subsistence etc.)?

In a degrowth society, will we have to work more or less than at present?

Results from Leipzig 2014

Proposals for Transformation

  • Reduction in paid working time.

  • Dissociation of income from work, and work from identity.

  • Greater recognition of unpaid work (self reproduction, household reproduction, community reproduction).

  • Strengthening autonomous collective experiences based on trust in interdependency.

  • Elimination of zero-hour contracts.

  • Introduction of basic income.

Vision

  • Emerging entities from self organising community which will redistribute resources.

  • Elimination of precarious work.

  • Equal distribution of all 4 types of work between genders and races.

Controversies

  • What is work? What is destructive work?

  • Is work going to emancipate us, or should we emancipate ourselves from work?

  • How to reorganise work beyond market?

  • Recognition of unproductive time (leisure)

  • Environmental impact of different spheres of work
