Summary / Abstract:

ENThe world of work is undergoing profound change. Technological development, demographic shifts, global mobility, and the growing demand for social justice are transforming the way careers are built and maintained. In this changing context, career development must go beyond traditional models and consider intersectionality, equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI). This book brings together interdisciplinary and international contributions that examine career development in different life stages and societal contexts. It explores both evolving trends and the influence of inclusive policies, organisational diversity and well-being. The volume presents career development as a dynamic, interdisciplinary field, offering insights into how structural conditions, individual aspirations, and EDI principles interact to shape meaningful and sustainable career paths in a rapidly changing world.
