The #futureofworklac is upon us and CIPE is developing ideas to stimulate Latin America in kickstarting its economies and transitioning to a more digitalized world. CIPE is bringing together our partners – CIEN, CIPPEC, Fedesarrollo, and Mexico Evalúa – to present their Future of Work material in the coming months, featuring their top experts and latest research.
Each month, our Future of Work events and publications will center on one organization’s work, expanding their research in discussions with other thought leaders to stimulate timely conversations on the urgent issues and policy needs of the region. As Latin America grapples with the immediate and long-term impacts of Covid-19, it is learning it needs innovative policy to create an inclusive and sustainable economic recovery.
