On 20th of August 2025, LIRNEasia, together with the Centre for Poverty Analysis (CEPA) and the Sri Lanka and Maldives office of the International Labour Organization (ILO) convened a policy roundtable discussion titled “Bridging Policy Pathways for an Inclusive Future of Work”.
The objective of the discussion was to explore critical policy themes shaping the future of work in the Global South: the care economy, ensuring social protection for all workers, and ensuring a just transition.
Better working conditions, flexibility, and better pay are driving these shifts, yet government policies remain inadequate in supporting transitions or ensuring decent work standards.
Speakers noted the fragmented nature of social protection schemes for platform workers across the region.
FutureWORKS Asia is a network convened by LIRNEasia, a regional digital policy think tank based in Colombo.
