The Future of Work in Sri Lanka

The first meeting of the Technology Foresight Group on the Future of Work in Sri Lanka, will be held on September 7th (Friday), 2018 at Movenpick Hotel, Colombo.
The ILO in partnership with Tandem Research has convened the Technology Foresight Group (TFG) to collectively evaluate the political, social, and value-based contestations underlying the framing of problems and solutions around technology and the future of work in Sri Lanka, and to collaboratively identify case studies to understand pathways and trajectories of technological change and their impact on jobs.

The workshop aims to develop propositions about the likely impact of Fourth Industrial Revolution(4IR) on Sri Lankan labour markets over the next 5-10 years, specifically concerned with three areas of enquiry -automation & displacement; employment conditions & labour market inequities.
