Professor Guy Standing on the “Precariat” at Izmir University of Economics

Last Monday, as the Department of Sociology at Izmir University of Economics, we had the pleasure of hosting Professor Guy Standing. In his talk, Standing elaborated on the concept of the “precariat” as a new social class, emphasizing that today’s university students and graduates constitute one of its largest and most vulnerable components. He concluded his lecture on a hopeful note, reminding us that the future and the potential for change lie with young people. We sincerely thank all our guests who joined the event, as well as the Development Workshop for their valuable contribution to its organization.
