The Government has also raised the minimum wage\, especially for the youngest workers. \nThe reforms are yet to be finalised; much of the detail will only be filled in after the Employment Rights Bill has passed. In my talk I will look at the likely direction of the reforms\, place the reforms in the context of previous UK policy and policy in other countries\, and discuss the potential impact of the reforms on the wider economy. \n  URL:/event/vinson-centre-seminar-series-in-the-classical-political-economy-tradition-3/ LOCATION:Room 5 and 6\, Vinson Building\, Vinson Building\, The University of Buckingham\, Buckingham\, MK18 1EG\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Featured,Vinson Centre END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20251119T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20251119T180000 DTSTAMP:20251030T030345 CREATED:20240828T152907Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251002T154154Z UID:644717-1763568000-1763575200@www.buckingham.ac.uk SUMMARY:Postgraduate Open Evening DESCRIPTION:Improve your job prospects\, pursue your passion\, and gain a higher qualification with postgraduate study. \nDiscover how you can further your education at our Postgraduate Open Evening.

The revised and expanded three-volume edition (edited by Adriano Aymonino and Eloisa Dodero)\, substantially updates the scholarship with research from recent decades. This two-day conference aims to assess the current state of research\, rethink established methodologies and explore possible future directions in the field. Its primary goal is to foster discussion among different generations of scholars whose research outputs are often separated by language and methodological barriers. \nThe conference is organised by Adriano Aymonino and Kathleen Christian. \n\nCall for Papers\nWe invite proposals for twenty-minute papers.\nDeadline: 15 May 2025 \nFind out more about the Call for Papers.
