Giriswar MisraEnglish / Key Note PresentationCareering in a changing world of work, education and leisure:Issues and perspectivesAbstract:The increased life expectancy, technological development (ICT) and change in labor market in aglobalizing world are leading to major shifts in the notions of a meaningful career. As Indianexperience illustrates the changes at work place in terms of time and space, multiplicity of roles andidentities, emergence of NGOs, changes in policies, and advances in techno-scientific knowledge aremaking the life and career paths more complex. As a result the domains of work, education and leisureare assuming new patterns of relationship. Embedded in diverse forms of social structure, economyand occupational structure, and degree of uncertainty the understanding of career development needsto be examined with the help of a culturally resonant and inclusive paradigm. The future of careerpsychology, therefore, shall depend on its success in addressing the issues of technology, workprocesses, and skill requirements in the context of cultural values and local socio-cultural realities.About presenterDesignation:Organization:Contact Information:email:Language:Type of Presentation:ProfessorDepartment of psychology, University of DelhiDepartment of psychology, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007, India.misragirishwar@gmail.comEnglishKey Note PresentationGirishwar Misra, Ph.D. is currently ICSSR National Fellow and professor of psychology at University of Delhi, Delhi.
