| Abstract: | CONFINTEA VI took place against the background of an uneven and contradictory social and economic impact of globalisation.
This impact registered globally and locally, in both the political North and South, drawing new lines of inequality between
“core” and “periphery”, between insiders and outsiders of contemporary society. Financial turmoil in the world has exacerbated
levels of poverty and insecurity. The question is how work-related education and conceptions of learning might promote greater
inclusion and security for those whose livelihoods are most severely affected by globalisation. The Belém Framework for Action
implicitly recognises that lifelong learning and work cannot be discussed outside broader socio-economic and political contexts.
The authors of this article draw substantially on research from around the world and argue for the re-insertion of “politics
and power” into both the theory and practice of “lifelong learning” and “work”. |
