LIRNEasia, with the support of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), is pleased to announce the second Call for Proposals under the FutureWORKS Asia initiative. We are inviting proposals for gender-responsive, solution-oriented, and policy-relevant applied research projects that will help shape a sustainable and inclusive future of work in Asia. As the Asia-Pacific region navigates the complex impacts of technological change, demographic shifts, and climate change, it is more critical than ever to ensure that evidence-based policy solutions guide our responses. The first round of research projects supported under FutureWORKS Asia focused on diagnosing key challenges facing workers and economies across the region. With this second call, the focus shifts toward generating actionable solutions.
