Chulalongkorn University collaborated with the Ministry of Labor in 2019 to realize decent work-based policies and practices through research and knowledge production and dissemination, and coordination between the stakeholders within the local and global community. 

​

To attain this goal, our diverse stakeholders are of utmost importance. As for the research and knowledge production, we involve researchers from all disciplines to encourage extensive study on labor-related issues. Parallel to this, the researchers are provided with capacity building activities, such as seminars, conference, and researcher’s development program (Power BI and Social Network for Data Analysis Workshop; Publication Workshop). To realize research and evidence-based policies and practices, all stakeholders should be implicated. In order to achieve this, CU-ColLaR acts as a coordinator at the national level. The coordination has been made by facilitating dialogue platform among stakeholders—both on site and online—(Seminar Series on Guidelines to the Post Covid-19 Adaptation of Thai labor). In relation to the policy makers, we jointly elaborated research and evidence-based policy briefs and developing database with the government sectors (Guidelines to the Post Covid-19 Adaptation of Thai labor in collaboration with the Senate Standing Committee on Labor; Labor-related research database), and provided them with organizational capacity building to the Ministry of Labor to promote the innovative implementation of research and evidence-based policy and practices (Design Thinking Workshop with DOE).

 

We aim, through CU-ColLaR, for decent work of the future of work, which we believe will lead to a sustainable society.
