The Southern Centre for Inequality Studies welcomes you to our Future of Work(ers) Webinar
The COVID-19 pandemic has thrust the question of social protection into the limelight as states scramble to respond to its socioeconomic fallout. Drawing on four cases from the global South, the webinar explores what it means to reimagine comprehensive social protection in states with limited capacity. Speakers will critically engage with dominant conceptions of social protection, discuss the contradictory role of development agencies in shaping the design and implementation of social protection system, and debate the possibilities and limitations of digital technologies in expanding social protection coverage.

- Professor Ravi Srivastava, Institute for Human Development, India
- Thandiwe Matthews, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa
