About
The Centre for Future Work is an independent research centre focused on making the world of work better for working people and their families.
We conduct and publish progressive economic and social research on work, employment, and labour markets, and develop timely and practical policy proposals.
Our research concerns the issues facing working people such as the future of jobs, wages and income distribution, skills and training, workers’ rights and working conditions, sector and industry directions, and the role of government and public services.
