The future of career development research for the future of work: Connecting the dots among decent, meaningful, healthy, and sustainable careers on one planet

If the future of work is inherently difficult to predict in the current landscape, both for near future with its uncertainty, and for distal future with its radical uncertainty over longer time horizons, working on constructing possible futures emerges more useful than making predictions. Research is thus called upon to play a leading role, offering contributions that serve as a reference point for imagining and shaping possible and desirable futures, including those related to careers.
