Description

When contemporary conversations on the “future of work” began a decade ago, most of the technologies that would define that term still resided comfortably in the realm of science fiction, or were only just emerging into public view — self-driving cars, artificial intelligence, and personal deliveries at the push of a button. Today — after a pandemic that prompted many to reexamine their relationship with their jobs, exposed the precarity of work for many more, and accelerated the adoption of technology — all these phenomena have come into their own, to varying degrees. Regulators, employers, and commentators alike struggle to keep pace with what this means for our labor force and for the role work will play in our society in the decades to come. All year we’ve been marking the tenth anniversary of Aspen Institute’s Future of Work Initiative, with an editorial series examining the lessons learned from a decade of “future of work” discourse, with contributions from leaders in academia, business, labor, policy, and philanthropy. As we prepare to conclude the series, please join us on Wednesday, December 17, from 2 to 3:15 p.m. Eastern time, on Zoom, for a discussion with Future of Work Fellows and contributors to explore how, together, we can shape a future of work that works for all Americans.
