Global Value Chains and the Future of Work (in-person or virtual)

Cover Image for Event

Will robots displace workers? Does automation mean the end of work as we know it? While much of the discussion about the future of work centers on technological innovations, changes in the way work is organized may ultimately prove more consequential for the well-being of workers, particularly in developing countries. This talk explores the causes and consequences of changes in the world of work through a focus on global supply chains.
