SUMMARY:Beyond Wage Labour: An Inclusive Approach to Work and Its Implications for the Emergence of New Workers’ Alliances in Urban Southeast Asia
LOCATION:Room 1.401
DESCRIPTION:If economies of the global North are assessed to be entering a 
 post-wage era, where are all those other economies going which have never f
 ully been dominated by formal, waged labour? How can we grasp the structura
 l changes of work and work relationships in geographic contexts which are l
 argely characterized by economic activities dubbed ‘informal’? Based on an 
 inclusive approach to work which encompasses all kinds of provisioning and 
 caring, this panel draws attention to the multifarious forms of work in urb
 an(izing) Southeast Asia. It seeks to examine the on-the-ground negotiation
 s of different forms of work – from formal employment to microbusiness; fro
 m entrepreneurship to hustling; from service jobs to (unpaid) care work – a
 nd invites empirically founded assessments of current labour trends in the 
 urban centres of the region.\n\nOn a second level, the panel raises the que
 stion of labour mobilization: If classical modes of union organization depe
 nd on formal employment relationships, how can workers collectively represe
 nt their interests beyond these specific conditions? What empirical example
 s of ‘informal’ workers’ or cross-sector alliances does Southeast Asia have
  to offer? And what are the organizational forms to foster these alliances 
 (NGOs, CSOs, unions, confederations, social movements, etc.)? Inspired by t
 he Indonesian “rakyat pekerja” (working people) approach, which seeks to un
 ite the struggles of (female) domestic workers, migrant workers, fishermen,
  farmers, and workers in the classic sense, the panel will discuss the poli
 tical challenges and potentials of grassroots mobilization based on an incl
 usive understanding of work.\n\nWe are interested in conceptual and empiric
 al contributions from scholars engaged in the study of (plural forms of) wo
 rk in urban Southeast Asia and welcome papers on the political potential of
  non- traditional / cross-sector workers’ alliances.
