Care Work, Migration and the Future of Workers
This session aims to explore how care work— largely informal, feminized, undervalued, and increasingly shaped by migration— lies at the intersection of informality, gender inequality, social protection gaps, and changing labour markets. The discussion will highlight both the essential contribution of care workers to economic and social well-being, as well as the vulnerabilities they face in the absence of adequate recognition, regulation, and protection.
New Forms of Work and Global Standards: The Platform Economy
The platform economy has become one of the fastest-growing forms of employment, but it often lacks protections and formal recognition for workers. This session will introduce and explain the concept of platform work and its different types, providing participants with a clear understanding of how it operates across sectors such as ride-hailing, delivery services, domestic work, and online freelancing. This webinar at 4:00pm EAT will analyze how global standards such as ILO Conventions can be leveraged to advance workers’ rights, while also identifying where critical gaps remain, particularly in the Global South.
Organizing the Informal: New Opportunities to Organize for New Forms of Work
How are informal workers organizing in new, fragmented, and rapidly evolving forms of work? As the world of work changes, informal workers are developing innovative strategies to defend their rights, negotiate better conditions, and build collective power. This session will explore the new opportunities that emerging and precarious forms of work create for organizing, as well as the strategies, tools, and alliances that workers are leveraging, often outside traditional union structures. It will highlight concrete experiences from the ground, including digital organizing, community-based unions and cross-border networks that are redefining what worker representation looks like in the 21st century.
