Apart from academics, scholars and experts from policymaking, civil society, industry, worker's organisations and international organisations will contribute to the deliberations of the three-day Conference.
Research papers related to the conference theme, underpinned by the core question of how to address the issue through the right mix of strategies and policies, are invited from scholars and researchers, from both Global South and North.
New technologies are profoundly reshaping the world of work. Innovations in digital technology such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and robotics, digital platforms and cloud infrastructure have led to new ways of organizing work processes. The impact of digital technologies on the labour market and the organization of work varies across sectors, countries and regions. There is a need to better understand the heterogeneity of the adoption and diffusion of new technologies, and its impact on work, especially in the global South, where the evidence is very limited. It is in this context that the Institute for Human Development (IHD), International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the Southern Centre for Inequality Studies, Wits University, South Africa are organising a three-day International Conference on "New Technologies and the Future of Work in the Global South” during 17-19 July 2023 at N ew Delhi. The conference will address some important issues and concerns in the wake of technological change and emerging forms of work which have important implications for the future of work and for workers.
