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.
