Welcome to the United Nations
Around the world, in economies at all stages of development, profound changes in the nature of work are underway. Recognizing the pressing need to begin marshalling global expertise to make the future of work the one we want, the ILO launched the Future of Work Centenary Initiative in 2013. Under the Initiative, this Symposium (6-7 April 2017 in Geneva) marked an important step to gain greater understanding of the changes we are witnessing and to develop effective policy responses that can shape the future of work.
The Symposium was structured around the Initiative’s four “centenary conversations” -- work and society, decent jobs for all, the organization of work and production, and the governance of work. A special session also discussed the perspectives and views of young people.
