Quand le travail ne suffit plus | Sharon Sobol Jordan | TEDxClevelandStateUniversity

On nous apprend souvent que le travail acharné mène à une vie meilleure, mais avoir un emploi ne suffit pas toujours à progresser. Dans cette intervention TEDxClevelandStateUniversity, Sharon Sobol Jordan, présidente et directrice générale de United Way of Greater Cleveland, s'appuie sur l'expérience de sa famille et sur les réalités auxquelles font face les familles actives aujourd'hui. Elle interroge notre rapport au travail, à la sécurité économique et à la mobilité sociale.

• Pourquoi un emploi stable peut ne pas suffire
• La sécurité économique des familles actives
• Comment une aide au bon moment permet de continuer à avancer

But what happens when having a job is no longer enough to get ahead? Drawing on her family’s experience and the realities working families face today, Sharon Sobol Jordan challenges how we think about work, economic security, and upward mobility, showing how the right help at the right time can keep someone moving forward, and how each of us can help open that door.
