The future isn’t here yet, and it is the task of the Global South to imagine and build a future that it wants. FOWIGS is a network of Think Tanks from southern regions which brings data and knowledge together to build evidence-based narratives on the Future of Work. At FOWIGS, we contribute to the policy frameworks from and for developing countries.
FOWIGS launches the Dialogues on the Future of Work in the Global South, a series of events that will gather experts from the Global South regions Asia, Middle East & North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America. These fora aim for researchers to share and discuss their views about key topics relevant to understand how technological change and existing conditions in the developing world are expected to shape labor markets in the following decades.
IDRC has launched FOWIGS—a research program that will help understand how these changes are affecting the lives of the most vulnerable and suggest pathways for an inclusive digital future. The challenges are large and the questions are complex. But we need to face them now more than ever. Stay connected. Learn how.
