In the second part, experts from various fields will point out the reasons behind the occurrence of precarious employments, as well as the consequences it implies for both the individual and the society, and present the solutions that have been used so far to deal with the issues associated with precarious work. Speakers: Jože Mencinger, PhD, economist, Igor Šoltes, PhD, Member of the European Parliament, Metoda Dodič Fikfak, PhD, head of the Clinical Institute of Occupational, Traffic, and Sports Medicine, Rudi Klanjšek, PhD, sociologist, and Jakob Počivavšek, President of the Confederation of Trade Unions of Slovenia PERGAM.
