UNDP IN FOCUS
The United Nations Development Programme is referred to as UNDP. The United Nations Special Fund,
founded in 1958, and the United Nations Expanded Programme of Technical Assistance, founded in 1949,
merged to form UNDP, which was created by the United Nations General Assembly on November 22, 1965.
With offices in 177 countries, it is the largest UN development aid organization, headquartered in New York
City. All the funds for the UNDP come from voluntary donations made by UN member states.
STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS
The Administrator, who leads the UNDP, oversees an Executive Board made up of 36 representatives from
member countries, with one-third coming from wealthy countries and the remaining third from developing
ones. In addition to its global operations, the UNDP operates several Global Policy Centers, each with
distinct focus: the center in Seoul, South Korea fosters partnerships between South Korea and the developing
world; the Nairobi, Kenya center addresses environmental sustainability and desertification; the Singapore
center promotes public service excellence; and the Istanbul, Turkey center focuses on advancing
public-private partnerships as well as technology and innovation.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which emphasizes eradicating poverty, reducing inequality,
and fostering resilience, is in line with UNDP's efforts. The UNDP works in 170 nations and territories,
despite having a small yearly budget of between $4 to $6 billion. While the UNDP collaborates with member
countries, international development banks, and private enterprises to create plans to combat poverty and
promote economic expansion, most of its funding, nearly half of all annual expenditure, is allocated to
security system administration and reform. Reducing the spread of diseases, enhancing public sector policies,
promoting the decentralization of power in nations, and electoral reform are additional important areas of
interest for the UNDP.
MANDATES OF UNDP
As a United Nations agency for international development, UNDP strives to end poverty and lessen
inequality in 170 nations and territories. To accomplish the Sustainable Development Goals, UNDP assists
nations in strengthening institutional capacities, leadership, policymaking, collaboration, and resilience.
Three main areas are the focus of their work: climate and disaster resilience, democratic governance and
peacebuilding, and sustainable development. There are multiple mandates in addition to these three main
areas:
Eradicating Poverty
By monitoring poverty through its Human Development Reports, generating discussions about how to
proceed, and assisting in the creation and execution of national poverty-fighting policies, UNDP has a
proven track record of elevating the fight against poverty. UNDP collaborates with the World Bank to
provide Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) that support and optimize the advantages of
international debt relief.
Building Democratic Governance
UNDP promotes inclusive and effective democratic governance by advocating, advising, fostering impartial
dialogue spaces, achieving consensus, and establishing institutions with the goal of delivering effective and
equitable services to citizens, strengthening the rule of law and citizen security, and establishing an inclusive,
peaceful, and cohesive society.
Promoting Peace and Security
The United Nations employs a diverse range of mechanisms and tools to prevent conflict, foster
people-centered, peaceful resolutions, and build sustainable peace, including through diplomacy, mediation,
disarmament, peacekeeping, peacebuilding, justice, and promoting the rule of law, tackling the changing
risks to global peace and security.
Sustainable Development
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United
Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and guarantee that everyone
lives in peace and prosperity by 2030. UNDP is aligned with the sustainable development goals. The 17
SDGs are integrated — they acknowledge that development must strike a balance between social, economic,
and environmental sustainability.
Capacity Development
Capacity development is the process by which organizations maintain the ability to achieve long-term
development goals. UNDP supports capacity development through engaging stakeholders on capacity
development, assessing capacity assets and needs, formulating a capacity development response,
implementing the response, and evaluating capacity development.
Partnerships
UNDP is committed to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and actively works with
governments at the national, state, and local levels to improve service delivery and reach vulnerable and
marginalized communities and also actively collaborates with other stakeholders to achieve its mandate and
the SDGs.
Advocacy and Knowledge Sharing
The UNDP promotes the implementation of the SDGs by carrying out studies and supplying the data
required for governments and other important actors to take evidence-based action. It provides direct support
to governments as a partner for policy development and implementation and works with civil society, the
media, the corporate sector, social movements, and the public to help build the political environment for
action.
AGENDA IN FOCUS
Artificial Intelligence and automation are transforming global economies, promising productivity gains and
entirely new industries. Yet for the 3.3 billion workers in developing economies,many employed in
routine-intensive agriculture, manufacturing, and services,this transformation carries a profound threat of
structural displacement. Unlike the gradual transitions of earlier industrial revolutions, AI-driven disruption
is both rapid and geographically uneven, arriving in nations that have not yet built the institutional, financial,
and educational infrastructure necessary to absorb its consequences. The UNDP's mandate under the 2030
Agenda,and specifically SDG 8,demands that the international community confront this challenge directly,
ensuring that the digital economy's gains are distributed justly and that no worker is left behind in the
transition.
What Is AI-Driven Labour Displacement?
AI-driven labour displacement refers to the reduction or elimination of employment opportunities resulting
from the adoption of artificial intelligence technologies, automation systems, and machine learning tools that
perform tasks previously carried out by human workers. This encompasses robotic process automation in
manufacturing, AI-powered customer service replacing call centre workers, algorithmic management
displacing administrative staff, and machine vision systems substituting for quality-control labour. In
developing economies, where formal labour markets are already fragile, this displacement carries the
additional risk of driving workers into precarious informal employment or prolonged unemployment.
Scope and Scale in Developing Economies
The International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that up to two-thirds of jobs in developing countries
are at high or medium risk of automation, compared to approximately 57% in OECD nations. This
vulnerability is particularly pronounced in sectors that disproportionately employ workers in low- and
middle-income countries: garment manufacturing, agricultural processing, data entry, transport, and retail.
Women and young workers are especially exposed, as they are concentrated in these automatable roles.
Sub-Saharan Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and Latin America face the sharpest risks, with entire
national economic models dependent on industries where automation is accelerating fastest.
SDG 8 and the Inclusive Workforce Transformation Imperative
SDG 8,Decent Work and Economic Growth,calls for full and productive employment, decent work for all,
and the promotion of sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth. Its specific targets include
substantially reducing the proportion of youth not in employment, education, or training (NEET); protecting
labour rights and promoting safe working environments; and supporting developing countries' access to
financial services and markets. AI-driven labour displacement fundamentally threatens every one of these
targets. Inclusive workforce transformation, therefore, is not a peripheral concern, it is the central mechanism
by which SDG 8 can be achieved in the age of artificial intelligence.
The Transformation Imperative
Inclusive workforce transformation refers to the systemic, policy-driven process of reskilling and upskilling
workers displaced or threatened by automation, while simultaneously creating new, equitable pathways to
employment in emerging digital and hybrid industries. It requires national and international investment in
education and vocational training systems, the strengthening of social protection floors to cushion transitions,
the regulation of AI deployment to protect labour rights, and technology transfer mechanisms that enable
developing nations to harness AI as a development tool rather than suffer it purely as a disruptive force.
UNDP defines this transformation as requiring a human-centred approach, in which workers and
communities are active participants in shaping the economic systems that govern their lives.
BACKGROUND: AI AND LABOUR
DISPLACEMENT IN DEVELOPING ECONOMIES
Historical Context: Technology and Labour
The relationship between technological progress and employment is not new. The first Industrial Revolution
displaced artisanal craftworkers; mechanised agriculture reduced rural labour demand; the computerisation
wave of the 1980s and 1990s eliminated clerical jobs across developed economies. In each case, new
industries eventually emerged to absorb displaced workers — but the transitions were painful, prolonged,
and socially disruptive, particularly for vulnerable groups. The critical distinction today is speed. AI systems
are capable of learning and adapting at rates that outpace the time needed for educational systems, labour
markets, and social institutions to respond. For developing economies already struggling to provide decent
work for growing young populations, this acceleration is particularly destabilising.
The Anatomy of AI-Driven Displacement in Developing Economies
In developing economies, AI-driven displacement operates along several interconnected dimensions. First, it
causes job elimination ,the outright automation of roles, particularly in assembly lines, textile factories, and
data processing centres. Second, it drives job transformation ,partially automating tasks within existing roles,
demanding new hybrid skills that workers have not been trained for. Third, it enables platform-based gig
work that appears to create employment but strips workers of labour protections, benefits, and income
stability. The compounding effect is not simply fewer jobs, but a restructuring of work itself that
disadvantages those without access to digital skills, financial capital, or stable institutions.
Structural Vulnerabilities
Several structural features of developing economies amplify their exposure to AI-driven displacement. Skill
mismatches arise from educational systems that were designed for industrial-era labour markets and have not
yet incorporated digital, analytical, or adaptive skills at scale. Infrastructure deficits mean that even where
reskilling programmes exist, they are inaccessible to workers in rural areas without reliable electricity or
internet connectivity. Gender inequality is compounded because women in developing economies are
disproportionately employed in automatable roles, including garment work, domestic services, and informal
food processing. Finally, institutional fragility, weak labour laws, under-resourced ministries of labour, and
limited enforcement capacity, leaves displaced workers without effective recourse.
The North-South AI Divide
A critical structural inequality underlies the AI transition: developing countries are overwhelmingly
consumers of AI technologies designed, developed, and owned in advanced economies. The benefits of
AI-driven productivity ,profits, intellectual property, tax revenue, accumulate in the Global North, while the
risks,displacement, dependency, and loss of industrial competitiveness,are disproportionately borne in the
Global South. Without deliberate policy intervention at both national and international levels, AI risks
widening the inequality gap that the SDGs were designed to close.
ROLE OF INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN
ADDRESSING AI-DRIVEN DISPLACEMENT
UNDP
UNDP is uniquely positioned at the intersection of development, governance, and technology policy. Its
Digital Strategy 2022-2025 commits the organisation to helping member states harness digital technologies
for inclusive development, including AI, while managing associated risks such as labour displacement.
UNDP's Accelerator Labs,present in 115 countries,test grassroots responses to development challenges and
have increasingly focused on identifying AI-resilient livelihood pathways. Through its Signature Solution on
Poverty and Inequality and its partnerships with ILO, UNESCO, and the private sector, UNDP provides
technical assistance to governments designing reskilling frameworks and social protection systems adapted
to the AI era.
International Labour Organization (ILO)
The ILO's mandate to advance social justice and decent work makes it an indispensable partner in addressing
AI-driven displacement. Its 2019 report "Work for a Brighter Future" and subsequent research on the Future
of Work established the foundational evidence base on automation risk across sectors and regions. The ILO's
Just Transition framework,originally developed for climate policy,has been adapted to address
technology-driven labour transitions, providing governments with a policy blueprint that centres the rights
and voices of affected workers. The ILO also administers global labour standards, including conventions on
freedom of association, collective bargaining, and non-discrimination, all of which apply directly to how AI
is deployed in workplaces.
UNESCO
UNESCO's mandate on education and culture positions it as a critical actor in the reskilling dimension of
inclusive workforce transformation. Its 2021 Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence,the
first global normative instrument on AI governance,calls for governments to assess and mitigate the social
and economic impacts of AI, including on employment. UNESCO's work on Technical and Vocational
Education and Training (TVET) provides frameworks for redesigning curricula to equip workers with digital,
analytical, and adaptive skills. The organisation's focus on girls' and women's education is particularly
relevant given the feminised nature of many automatable industries.
UNCTAD
The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development tracks the economic dimensions of technology
transitions, including how AI reshapes trade competitiveness, industrial policy, and development pathways.
UNCTAD's Technology and Innovation Report 2023 documented how frontier technologies, including AI,
are widening the technological divide between developed and developing economies, and called for urgent
international action on technology transfer, capacity building, and inclusive governance of digital platforms.
World Bank
The World Bank has increasingly focused on the future of work, producing research and financing
programmes targeting digital skills development, labour market resilience, and social protection reform in
low- and middle-income countries. Its Human Capital Project directly links investments in education and
skills to long-term economic productivity. The World Bank also finances vocational training centres, digital
hubs, and entrepreneurship programmes in countries facing rapid economic transformation.
International Monetary Fund (IMF)
The IMF has flagged AI-driven labour displacement as a macroeconomic stability risk, noting its potential to
increase inequality, reduce tax revenues, and destabilise social contracts. Its research has called for
governments to revise tax systems, including exploring taxation on automation, to finance the social
protection and reskilling expenditures needed during technological transitions. The IMF also provides
technical assistance to governments seeking to adapt fiscal policy frameworks to the AI age.
ITU
The International Telecommunication Union focuses on the digital infrastructure prerequisites for inclusive
workforce transformation. Without reliable, affordable internet access, reskilling programmes cannot reach
displaced workers in rural or remote areas. ITU's Connect 2030 Agenda sets targets for universal digital
connectivity, which is a foundational condition for inclusive participation in AI-era labour markets. ITU also
works on AI standards and governance frameworks that could ensure AI systems are designed with labour
protections embedded at the technical level.
SDG 8 AND INCLUSIVE WORKFORCE
TRANSFORMATION
SDG 8, Decent Work and Economic Growth, is the primary normative framework governing this
committee's deliberations. Its targets speak directly to the challenges posed by AI-driven labour
displacement, and delegates should anchor all proposals firmly within its structure.

Key Policy Solutions
The following policy approaches have been identified by UNDP, ILO, UNESCO, and other international
bodies as central to inclusive workforce transformation:
Global AI Reskilling Fund
A pooled international financing mechanism,modelled on the Green Climate Fund,dedicated to supporting
reskilling and upskilling programmes in LDCs and developing economies. Such a fund would provide grants
to national governments for vocational training reform, digital literacy programmes, and TVET system
upgrades, with disbursement conditioned on participatory design involving affected workers and
communities.
Technology Transfer Agreements
Binding or incentivised international arrangements requiring that AI technologies developed in advanced
economies be made available to developing nations under fair licensing terms, or through open-source
frameworks. Technology transfer must encompass not only software tools but also the knowledge, technical
capacity, and institutional frameworks necessary to use AI as a development accelerator rather than suffering
its displacing effects passively.
Social Protection Floors
The ILO's Social Protection Floors Recommendation (No. 202) provides a framework for establishing
nationally-defined minimum levels of social security. Extending these floors to cover workers displaced by
AI,including those in the informal economy and gig platforms, is essential to preventing displacement from
translating into poverty. This may include temporary unemployment benefits, retraining stipends, and income
support during transition periods.
National AI Labour Impact Assessments
Requiring governments to conduct systematic assessments of the employment impact of AI before
authorising large-scale deployment in key sectors. Such assessments, analogous to environmental impact
assessments, would give policymakers the evidence base needed to design targeted mitigation measures and
would create accountability mechanisms for private sector AI adoption.
Gender-Responsive Reskilling
Given the feminised nature of many automatable industries, reskilling programmes must be explicitly
designed to reach and serve women, including through flexible scheduling, childcare provision, and the
elimination of discriminatory barriers to women's participation in STEM and digital training pathways.
CASE STUDIES: INCLUSIVE WORKFORCE
TRANSFORMATION INITIATIVES
1. Rwanda's Digital Skilling Initiative and Vision 2050
Rwanda has been widely recognised as a developing economy successfully leveraging digital transformation
to create new employment opportunities. The Rwandan government's collaboration with UNDP and private
sector partners on its Digital Transformation Strategy has included programmes specifically targeting
workers in agriculture and manufacturing,sectors facing automation pressure, and training them in data entry,
digital services, and technology-enabled entrepreneurship. Rwanda's experience demonstrates that proactive
national leadership, combined with international support, can position a developing economy to benefit from
rather than be victimised by AI-driven transitions. The UNDP-Rwanda partnership serves as a reference
model for other LDCs.
2. India's National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC)
India's National Skill Development Corporation, established with government and private sector
collaboration, provides a large-scale example of a developing economy attempting to manage the transition
to automation through vocational training reform. The NSDC's AI and Digital Skills programmes, launched
in partnership with technology firms, have trained hundreds of thousands of workers in digital competencies.
Critically, the programme's successes and failures,including challenges in reaching women, rural workers,
and workers in the informal economy,provide a detailed case study in the design considerations that must
inform any international framework for inclusive workforce transformation.
3. ILO's Just Transition Framework in Bangladesh Garment Sector
Bangladesh's garment sector, which employs over 4 million workers, predominantly women,faces acute
automation risk as textile robotics advance. The ILO, in collaboration with the Bangladesh Garment
Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) and the government, has piloted Just Transition
programmes that combine worker consultation mechanisms, retraining pathways in digital textile design, and
gender-sensitive support services. This case illustrates both the potential of sector-specific inclusive
transformation strategies and the critical importance of worker voice in designing them.
4. Uruguay's National Training Institute (INEFOP)
Uruguay's Instituto Nacional de Empleo y Formación Profesional (INEFOP) provides a model from a
middle-income developing economy. By combining unemployment insurance with mandatory retraining
programmes, Uruguay has achieved comparatively low rates of structural unemployment during
technological transitions. Its experience is instructive for the design of social protection floor extensions that
developing economies across Latin America and beyond are being urged to implement in response to
AI-driven displacement.
CHALLENGES TO INCLUSIVE WORKFORCE
TRANSFORMATION
Financing Gap
The most fundamental challenge is financial. The scale of reskilling and social protection investment
required to manage AI-driven displacement in developing economies far exceeds current national budgets
and ODA flows. The OECD estimates that closing the skills gap associated with automation in developing
economies would require hundreds of billions of dollars annually,resources that are not currently committed
by either national governments or the international community. Without new financing mechanisms,
inclusive workforce transformation will remain aspirational rather than operational.
Speed of Disruption vs. Institutional Capacity
AI is advancing faster than the institutional capacity of most developing economies to respond. Vocational
training systems take years to reform; labour market regulation requires legislative processes; social
protection systems must be built from scratch in many LDCs. The mismatch between the pace of
technological disruption and the pace of institutional reform is a structural challenge that no individual policy
solution can address alone. It demands long-term, patient international support combined with urgent
national action.
Digital Infrastructure Deficits
Reskilling programmes dependent on digital platforms cannot function without reliable internet connectivity.
Yet in many developing economies,particularly in rural Sub-Saharan Africa and parts of South Asia —
broadband penetration remains low, electricity supply is unreliable, and digital devices are unaffordable for
low-income workers. Infrastructure deficits thus compound displacement by making the remedies
inaccessible to those who need them most.
The Informal Economy Challenge
In many developing economies, the majority of workers are in the informal sector,outside the reach of formal
labour law, social insurance systems, and employer-funded training programmes. AI-driven displacement
risks further swelling informal employment by pushing displaced formal workers into precarious gig and
self-employment without protections. Standard workforce transformation policy frameworks, designed for
formal employment relationships, must be radically redesigned to reach informal workers.
Intellectual Property and Technology Ownership
The intellectual property frameworks governing AI technologies, primarily TRIPS and bilateral trade
agreements, create significant barriers to technology transfer. Developing economies that wish to adapt AI
tools for local reskilling or industrial applications face licensing barriers, royalty costs, and legal constraints.
Reform of the global IP regime to enable equitable access to AI technologies is a prerequisite for inclusive
transformation, but faces strong resistance from advanced economies and multinational technology
corporations.
Political Economy Challenges
Inclusive workforce transformation requires sustained political will,commitments to education spending,
social protection expansion, and labour regulation that may face opposition from business interests, fiscal
conservatives, and short-term electoral pressures. In fragile or authoritarian states, the policy environment for
the participatory, rights-based approaches that UNDP advocates is further constrained. International
frameworks must be designed to support and incentivise political will for inclusive transformation, not
merely to mandate outcomes.
