Lifelong learning, counseling and life designing to promote careers for the future

The authors argue that a rapidly changing and complex global work market poses unique career-related challenges that require lifelong learning, counseling and life designing to help individuals to access sustainable careers. Lifelong counseling and education are expected to foster personal empowerment and fulfillment while also tempering the impacts of careers on planetary stability, global peace and concerns of sustainability for the future. To promote sustainable careers action and the individual, social, and political levels have to be combined.
