FUTURE OF WORK POLICY + PRACTICE CATALOG

PREPARING FOR A STRONGER & FAIRER NEW JERSEY

The Policy & Practice Catalog offers a searchable and sortable collection of innovative policy ideas and practices that respond to the challenges and opportunities created by the impact of new technology on work.

Current: More and more research is being produced on the Future of Work each year, and our staff continues to evaluate new policies and practices to ensure the catalog stays up-to-date.

Collaborative: The catalog was compiled with the input of numerous experts in the field and offers thought leaders an opportunity to provide valuable feedback on each item.

Easy to navigate: The catalog is organized so that decision-makers can quickly access material relevant to their communities and interests.

One Stop Shop: The catalog aggregates leading research, policies, and practices into one comprehensive format, allowing decisions-makers to view ideas from numerous studies in one easy to use toolkit.

These proposals have been sourced from an array of research reports - they are not endorsed by the Task Force, nor are they intended to be recommendations. Instead, they are meant to inform discussions about policy solutions pertaining to the Future of Work.

The Future of Work Task Force was established by Governor Murphy via Executive Order 41 to evaluate how technological advancements will shape the future of New Jersey’s economy and workforce, and produce an evidence-based policy roadmap to prepare the state for the future of work.

Specifically, the Task Force is charged with the following objectives:

Determine which technologies will impact work in New Jersey, which industries and sectors will be affected and to what extent.
Identify the groups of residents in New Jersey likely to be most affected by these changes and how effects will vary based on differing demographics, including gender, race, income, location, and education.
Explore the ways in which the same innovative technologies might improve workplace conditions, create different jobs, and grow the state’s economy.
Devise innovative, impactful and cost-effective strategies for what State government, universities, private corporations, non-profits and individuals can do to prepare for these changes and ensure a prosperous and equitable future.
Produce an evidence-based policy roadmap for New Jersey to prepare for the future of work.

To better equip the Task Force with a more broadly-informed perspective, the Task Force welcomes input on the following questions:

What policy and practice ideas are missing from the Catalog?
What are other examples of a referenced policy being implemented?
Other than the research and literature highlighted in the Task Force Resources, are there other papers, reports, or resources that the Task Force should review?

Any input that you wish to provide can be emailed to fow@innovation.nj.gov

Throughout the lifespan of the Future of Work Task Force, there will be numerous opportunities for industry, academic institutions, public policy stakeholders, and the general public to contribute to and strengthen the Task Force’s work.
