The world of work is undergoing a major process of change. In order to understand and to respond effectively to these new challenges the International Labour Organization has launched a "Future of Work initiative" in order to be able to advance its mandate for social justice.

The ILO needs to understand and to respond effectively to the world of work ongoing changes in order to be able to advance its mandate for social justice. The unit in charge of the Future of Work initiative  seeks to involve the ILO's tripartite constituency fully and universally, but also to reach beyond them to the academic world and to all other relevant and interested actors.
