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. Our research concerns the issues facing working people including the future of jobs, wages and income distribution, skills and training, workers’ rights and working conditions, sector and industry directions, the role of government and public services and more. The Centre develops timely and practical policy proposals.
