The Tunisia Inclusive Labor Institute (TILI) and the Global Fairness Initiative (GFI) are organizing a regional conference titled "From Informality to Inclusion: Shaping the Future of Work and Workers" on September 24, 2026, in Tunis. The event aims to bring together public institutions, worker organizations, civil society actors, researchers, international organizations, and cooperation partners to discuss major changes redefining the world of work.
The conference will focus on four main panels, including the role of international cooperation in building an inclusive and resilient future of work, the impact of digitalization, artificial intelligence, and platform economy on work and workers, the challenges of climate change and just transition, and inclusive formalization. The discussions will also touch on the future roadmap of the International Labor Organization (ILO) 2027-2032 and the role of organizations representing informal economy workers.
The conference comes at a time when the world of work is undergoing significant transformations, driven by technological advancements, climate change, and shifting economic landscapes. The event seeks to address these challenges and explore opportunities for creating a more inclusive and sustainable future of work. By bringing together diverse stakeholders, the conference aims to foster dialogue, collaboration, and innovative solutions.
The TILI and GFI partnership reflects a growing recognition of the need for collaborative approaches to addressing the complex challenges facing the world of work. By working together, organizations can leverage their expertise and resources to drive positive change and promote more equitable and sustainable labor markets.
The conference will provide a platform for experts and stakeholders to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices in addressing the challenges of informality, digitalization, and climate change. It will also offer an opportunity for networking and building partnerships to support the development of more inclusive and resilient labor markets.
The event is expected to contribute to the ongoing global conversation on the future of work, which is being shaped by the ILO's Centenary Declaration for the Future of Work. The declaration emphasizes the need for a human-centered approach to the future of work, which prioritizes social justice, equality, and human dignity.
The conference will conclude with a call to action, outlining key recommendations and commitments to support the creation of a more inclusive and sustainable future of work.
