Some experts on YouTube like Full Disclosure have divided the work landscape into four sectors, to see who’s most likely to be affected by AI. The crème of the crop in highly skilled industries will, of course, retain their jobs, especially if these are industries which require a human touch. Those doing blue collar jobs that are low on skills are also safe for a while, but those with skill based jobs that don’t require a lot of specialisation will see opportunities diminish. Even worse off will…

There’s a saying, money makes the world go around, and given that we live in a mostly capitalistic world, GDP growth and economy are the markers of success for countries. While yes, a better economy can result in a higher standard of living for people, GDP is neither a holistic nor a sustainable or even an equal marker as it can’t take into account caregiving work, the work of homemakers, and the economic importance of community and well-being. Plus, capitalistic systems often end up being linear economies which ignore that ecological stability is necessary for economies to have resources to…

In 2024, discussions on work life balance centered around people being overworked and influential figures asking for longer work weeks. In 2025, the headlines are different. While the previous issues of overworked employees remain unresolved, there is another problem. Nature itself is against us. Climate change is changing work With rising temperatures, productivity is going down, leading to more layoffs. How can we compete with AI when we are not even at our 100%, not that AI is competition but a tool that needs a lot of workshopping. Daily wage earners, whose jobs are yet to be threatened by AI,…

Is migration the problem or the solution? With falling birth rates, many say migration can help countries avoid the problems of an aging population in a system that’s not built for them. Where in this do temporary migrations, say for example, students, fall? While countries like Canada have taken steps to keep this temporary migrant population in check, going so far as to cut Indian student permits by 31% despite Indians making the world’s largest overseas diaspora. The current government’s stance seems to be that increased migration has led to problems like housing unaffordability and extreme pressure on medical systems.…

With the rise in skin care consumption, both for hygiene and luxury, plastic pollution has also gone up. While one of the best ways consumers can help is reducing unnecessary products, some skin care is going to be part of everyone’s health routine. Yet, we can’t take care of our skins with products that damage our water systems and soils. Because in the end, those damaged systems grow unhealthy food and thus end with us sick. Which is why World Environment Day isn’t just about animals and plants, it’s about healthy humans. In 2025, that means tackling unnecessary plastic waste…

With the rise of the eco-conscious consumer, sustainability has become the new buzzword in the skin-care industry. With there being no legal definitions of terms like eco-friendly, green, or sustainable, companies slap labels on their products to fool people into buying skin-care products that they might not use otherwise. This is why the EU, for example, has started with stricter regulations against the use of such terms. A popular term in the sustainability movement is “low-waste”, which means living by generating the least amount of waste possible. In skincare and beauty, this would mean switching from shampoo bottles to shampoo…
