The series addresses identified areas of labour law that respond to the changing nature of work, the future of work, and the labour market impacts of a just transition to a low-carbon economy. It also focuses on improving social protection for non-standard workers, addressing bottlenecks in existing labour market systems, and enabling economic growth and sustainability for small and emerging businesses.
