About

The Lab

The Future of Work Lab is committed to ensuring the future of work is equitable. As leaders in the field, we provide innovative understandings of the intersections of inequality, technology and policy to create more equitable work futures.

The future of work is here now. Our integrated approach draws from Sociology, Business and Economics and Computer Information Systems to provide an interdisciplinary understanding of an increasingly changing work world.

We are committed to ensuring workers and employers are prepared for the future of work through a comprehensive understanding of how the future of work will impact people, places, governments, organisations and technologies.
