Memorial Presents: On The Move - the family and community impacts of mobility for work
Extended mobility for work is widespread in Newfoundland and Labrador and in many other parts of Canada.This Memorial Presents will provide an overview of findings on different patterns of extended mobility for work and their impacts on source and host communities as well as on mobile workers and their families. The On the Move Partnership has been studying extended mobility for work in the Canadian context for six years. With a focus on community and family impacts, this event will highlight some of the key findings from this large program of research.
