A just, equitable future of work begins with the voice of workers.
The Inclusive Labor Institute is a resource center dedicated to advancing women’s economic empowerment and elevating opportunities for informal workers.
The Inclusive Labor Institute (ILI) cultivates Global South-led thought leadership and initiatives by uplifting worker voices and enabling grassroots organizations to directly access responsive data on key issues relating to the informal economy. In working with grassroots partners, we provide a platform to share resources and build models to co-create data to increase awareness and ensure sustainable changes.
Studies from the Inclusive Labor Institute and our partners covering a wide range of topics interrelated to informality and women’s economic empowerment can be found in our digital library.
