About

Andrew Langille

The Youth and Work website utilizes emerging communication strategies to disseminate information on workplace law to young people. The core mission of the website is to provide young people with the information they need to succeed in Canada's increasingly complex economy, address specific knowledge gaps aimed at young workers in legal community, and combat information asymmetries relating to workplace law and labour market issues.

This website isn't a traditional legal blog, rather it covers the intersection of public policy, post-secondary education, labour markets, the Canadian economy, and workplace law. Through timely commentary the website educates young people, policy makers, lawyers and other interested parties on emerging issues in the labour market. Also, the website serves as a testing ground for deploying emerging social media technology in communicating knowledge about workplace law to young people.

Youth and Work was founded by Andrew Langille, who is a Toronto based lawyer and a graduate student at Osgoode Hall Law School. Andrew's background in labour litigation, student organizations and community legal clinics gives him a unique perspective from which to comment on emerging issues in the youth labour market. Through his experiences in the private, public, and non-profit sectors he has gained insights into the range of issues that young workers are facing in the new economy.
