The future of diversity

The ILO and the École nationale d’administration publique du Québec (ENAP) embarked on a common project on “The future of diversity” to enrich the understanding of the issue of diversity in the workplace; reflect on the challenges in the fight against discrimination in employment; and raise awareness of inequalities in labour markets where some groups of workers are disadvantaged while others enjoy privileges, often even without realizing it.

A major research conference on this topic was held in Quebec City, Canada, on 11-13 December 2019.

In December 2021, the ILO brought out a collective volume that presents a variety of perspectives on diversity in the world of work and analyses the multiple layers of diversity: diverse societies, diversity in organizations and diversity at the individual level. Three chapters offer reflections on migration and diversity, dealing specifically with labour migration.
