 | | New technologies are profoundly reshaping the world of work. Innovations in digital technology such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and robotics, digital platforms and cloud infrastructure have led to new ways of organizing work processes. The impact of digital technologies on the labour market and the organization of work varies across sectors, countries and regions. There is a need to better understand the heterogeneity of the adoption and diffusion of new technologies, and its impact on work, especially in the global South, where the evidence is very limited. It is in this context that the Institute for Human Development (IHD), International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the Southern Centre for Inequality Studies, Wits University, South Africa are organising a three-day International Conference on "New Technologies and the Future of Work in the Global South" during 17-19 July 2023 at N ew Delhi. The conference will address some important issues and concerns in the wake of technological change and emerging forms of work which have important implications for the future of work and for workers. | | | | |  | | Research papers related to the conference theme, underpinned by the core question of how to address the issue through the right mix of strategies and policies, are invited from scholars and researchers, from both Global South and North. An extended abstract in about 1000 words containing research objectives,data and methodology and key findings should be submitted online on the Conference portal by 20 April 2023. Those whose abstracts are accepted will be invited to submit their full paper by 25 June 2023. For a detailed set of sub-themes and specific questions to be addressed under the theme, please visit: https://www.ihdindia.org/fowconference2023/ | Click here for Submission ofAbstracts/Papers |  | |  | | The papers should not have been published earlier in any form. Authors of the accepted papers are expected to meet the travel and other expenses from their own sources. However, based on peer review, the organisers may be able to provide a financial subsidy towards travel and other expenses, in the case of selected participants from the Global South. Decisions regarding the subsidy will be communicated by mid-May,2023. Selected and revised papers presented in the conference will be brought out as one/two special issues of the Indian Journal of Labour Economics (a quarterly journal of Indian Society of Labour Economics published by Springer). | | Kindly share this information with other interested researchers and colleagues. | | | | For queries/submissions relating to the Conference please write to: mail@ihdindia.org | | Institute for Human Development (IHD), New Delhi
