Adults responsible for making decisions about schooling need to be more cognisant about the long-term influences that the school experience can exert on students’ attitudes and beliefs. A stronger emphasis must also be given to the inclusion of hands-on group activities that emulate what they may do in life once they graduate.

The precarity of insecure work needs to be addressed, rather than exacerbated, by the systems set up to support people through their working lives.

The time based economy primarily functions through the education, civics, and knowledge sector.
