The FutureWORKS Collective is a five-year interdisciplinary Southern-led research consortium devoted to the future of work in developing countries.
The FutureWORKS Collective (FWC) is a global consortium funded by Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) that addresses the unique opportunities and challenges shaping labour markets in developing countries. Coordinated by JustJobs Network, FWC unites five distinguished research organisations as regional hubs to examine critical labour market issues, including the impacts of technological advancements, the proliferation of artificial intelligence, climate change, and energy transition. By fostering collaboration, generating evidence-based research, and engaging in policy advocacy, the Collective aims to bridge regional insights, amplify a unified global voice, and drive practical solutions toward a more equitable and inclusive future of work.
Connected2Work is an initiative that compiles research on technology and employment from across sources to make it easier for policymakers, businesses, workers, educators, and others to navigate the impact of technology on people's working lives.
The Centre for Gender Analysis (CGA) is a pioneering initiative by the JustJobs Network aimed at conducting systematic and comprehensive assessments of instruments of public governance—systems, policies, regulations, and budgets, and more toward improving women’s economic empowerment.
Today throughout the Global South, many small cities are growing faster-economically and demographically-than bigger metropolitan areas. This research project examines the way small cities shape the employment outcomes of migrant youth in India and Indonesia-the two largest democracies in the developing world.
