In the ongoing Assembly Elections of Bihar, “Rozgar” (Jobs/Employment) and “Siksha” (Education) have emerged as the main issues in the electoral campaigns of different political parties. But there are several other pressing issues which are not either discussed or discussed marginally. What are those issues and why are they not becoming Election Issues? To understand this, our guest podcaster Mahtab Alam spoke to two experts, journalist Umesh Kumar Ray and Journalist-Writer Pushya Mitra, who has been reporting from Bihar on a range of issues related to Health, Environment and Disaster.

Today on the Sounds and Words podcast, my guest is Wingham Rowan, former television journalist, current speaker, author, and Gig Economy expert. If you haven't noticed recently, today's workforce is changing at lightning speed. While Uber and Lyft may make headlines, the new challenges facing the modern workforce are much more complicated than this kind of limited news coverage may suggest. For instance, all across the USA and United Kingdom employees and contractors are waiting to see if their services may be needed at their workplaces within the next few hours. Complex algorithms are used by companies to calculate immediate staffing needs, and these employees never know exactly when their services may be required. This creates untold difficulties (and quiet desperation at times) for these workers' management of their personal lives. How, for example, does one arrange childcare in advance when one never knows the precise schedule? Even applying for other positions can become impractical. In Wingham Rowan's popular Ted Talk, he introduced the idea of Modern Markets for All, but what does this mean exactly? Our conversation explores the daunting problem of the Irregular Worker within the Gig Economy--from the United Kingdom across the pond to the United States.

Today we got Josh Wilson with Mission: St Louis. It is a Non-Profit that is in a tough area and he is trying to make it better. The Beyond Jobs program is training where people will get paid during an internship. He fits the bill so the employers do not have too. But after the internship, that person might have the opportunity to be put on as permanent employee. That is huge! He wants to create jobs ,opportunities, and better relationships with a community that really needs help. Come listen to his journey to see how he kept pushing through adversity. Big Time Dreams!

Wingham Rowan, Director of "Beyond Jobs" and Alison Gerber, Senior Associate from the Annie E. Casey Foundation join the program to discuss the report "Beyond Gig Work: Public Markets For Irregular Employment" and the takeaways from the study. Discover the implications of the gig economy and the opportunities that irregular employment create for the workforce system as a whole.

According to the most recent Kauffman Foundation Index of Startup activity, about 17% of entrepreneurs in Missouri and 29% in St. Louis where unemployed before starting their business. This suggests that some entrepreneurs are starting businesses out of necessity. This has implications for the number and types of businesses that are created, the founders’ access to capital and the potential to scale, as well as the potential to employ others and create generational wealth. It also reflects the reality that for those with limited career choices - due to education, experience and in some cases, involvement in the justice system - entrepreneurship can be a pathway to prosperity. We've invited Jason Watson, the Director of the Beyond Jobs program at Mission: St. Louis and former state senator, Jeff Smith, Executive Vice President of Community Engagement and Policy with Concordance Academy of Leadership to talk about how their programs help men and women tap into their inherent leadership skills, innate creativity and personal aspirations to be part of a thriving workforce and job creation in our region. We'll talk about how employers can unlock the transferable skills in this underutilized talent pool to help grow their businesses, as well as how mentors and volunteers can help individuals cultivate their entrepreneurial mindset as a way of envisioning a new tomorrow.

The sharing economy has gained traction and attention in the last few years. Also known as the “gig economy,” “consumer-to-consumer sharing,” and “peer-to-peer marketplaces,” the term “sharing economy” is used to describe a wide variety of exchanges between people, including property, skills, labor, or space. By using an online platform to connect users and providers, this system puts a modern spin on old-fashioned bartering, swapping, borrowing, and trading — and greatly expands the scope and scale of potential exchanges. Sharing economy companies include Airbnb (rent a room or your house), Uber (provide rides), TaskRabbit (do chores for others), and Instacart (be a personal grocery shopper), to name a few. There were an estimated 80 million sharers in the United States in 2013 – although that included 33 million “resharers,” those who buy and/or sell pre-owned goods online at sites like Craigslist (Vision Critical and Crowd Companies). Revenue estimates vary from $3.5 billion in the U.S. in 2013 (Forbes) to $335 billion globally in 2025 (PricewaterhouseCoopers). Many have touted this system's benefits for consumers, including convenient and affordable services and shared goods. But what are the benefits — and the downsides — of the sharing economy for the workers who provide the services? What is the influence of the sharing economy on the future of work? What are the implications for public policy and business practice? This event features Shelby Clark (Executive Director, Peers), Sarah Kessler (Reporter, Fast Company), Wingham Rowan (Director, Beyond Jobs), Steven Strauss (Visiting Professor, Woodrow Wilson School, Princeton University), and moderator Catherine Rampell (Opinion Writer, The Washington Post). This event is part of the Working in America series, an ongoing discussion series hosted by the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program that highlights an array of critical issues affecting low- and moderate-income workers in the United States and ideas for improving and expanding economic opportunities for working people. For more information, visit as.pn/workinginamerica. The Economic Opportunities Program advances strategies, policies, and ideas to help low- and moderate-income people thrive in a changing economy.
