The Future of Work: Unlocking Digital Technology

The nature of work is changing around the world. This global transformation has only been accelerated with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. But what does digital work look like in the geographies where the Aga Khan Foundation works, many of which are remote and lack key infrastructure? And what do we mean when we talk about digital and digitally enabled work? How can AKF’s new Future of Work initiative unlock digital work opportunities in the countries where we work? Mike Bowles, Shabya Baroi, Indira Uzbekova and Sehar Noor talk about this new initiative and share concrete examples and recent research on opportunities for digitally enabled work in India, Kyrgyz Republic and Pakistan.
