The ILO has this past week announced the commission on the Global Commission on the Future of Work will now move to the second stage in the ILO’s Future of Work Initiative.

Over the past 18 months, the ILO’s tripartite constituents - governments, employer and worker organizations - have held national dialogues in over 110 countries in the run-up to the launch of the Global Commission

With the Commission now moving to now produce an independent report on " how to achieve a future of work that provides decent and sustainable work opportunities for all". This report will be submitted to the centenary session of the International Labour Conference in 2019.

Its job is to undertake an in-depth examination of the future of work that can provide the analytical basis for the delivery of social justice in the 21st century

“It is fundamentally important that we confront these challenges from the conviction that the future of work is not decided for us in advance. It is a future that we must make according to the values and the preferences that we choose as societies and through the policies that we design and implement,” said ILO Director-General Guy Ryder.
