Abstract
In the first part of this chapter, the effect of changes in the world of work on people’s lives and society’s failure to create opportunities for decent work for everyone are considered as well as ways in which this situation can be improved. Global attempts to alleviate poverty by fostering career adaptability and career resilience in disadvantaged regions in particular are also considered. The chapter begins with a discussion of the most significant work-related changes that have taken place in the world over the past few decades and how these changes have influenced the world of the work and workers themselves. Next is considered what is meant by career counselling in general and by career adaptability, career resilience, and employability in particular. The second part of the chapter is devoted to seven research projects that illustrate how adaptability and career resilience can be enhanced and harnessed to promote employability and decent work and reduce poverty.
