Recommendation

Technological innovations, the expansion of the “green economy” and demographic changes will create new employment challenges; but according to this report from the International Labour Association’s Global Commission on the Future of Work, these developments also present new opportunities. If governments, private employers and workers’ organizations take action, they can reverse negative trends such as rising inequality and create a stronger, juster and more secure socioeconomic future for all. To that end, the report’s authors propose a “human-centred agenda for the future of work.”

Take-Aways

  • Governments, private companies and workers’ organizations need to band together to create a more equitable, people-centric economy. 
  • Opportunities to reskill and upskill, and policies that promote gender equality and offer social protections must become top priorities.
  • Worker rights, a living wage, safe working conditions and flexible work options are vital.
