Technology and the Future of Work

Through a year-long project, Practical Action and WIEGO have explored the technologies, cities, work and systems that influence the disruptive impact of technologies on informal workers. The Technology & Future of Work project explored how the working poor are able to mitigate the negative livelihood impacts of technology disruption, or harness technologies to create new work opportunities in five cities (Ahmedabad, India; Dhaka, Bangladesh; Durban, South Africa; Lima, Peru; and Nairobi, Kenya).
