'We just want a ferry service that works.'

An event about Scotland's ferry provision may sound heavy for a Monday - but actually this was a really interesting presentation about @uofgasbs.bsky.social research on the lifeline service ferries offer and the impact on island communities and business.

The hidden costs of formalisation: Evidence from labour inspections in Brazil
In Brazil, labour inspections reduce informality but harm workers and firms when rigid labour regulations leave them with little room to adjust.

"We say we need older workers, but we still treat them as expendable."

Excellent comment by Prof Kat Riach @uofgasbs.bsky.social on workplace ageism in @TheScotsman - sharing thinking from her new book, ‘Working Through Ageing: Experiencing Growing Up and Older at Work'.

bit.ly/4h0QuJ9
Why workplace ageism costs a lot more than the £3.2 million compensation paid to 'old fossil'
The message from government is that we need to delay retirement and work for longer for the sake of the economy, but ageist attitudes see older people treated as if they were expendable
