Abstract: Most of our labour policies were established in the early 1900s when the old world of work was vastly different from today's world of work. These differences are elaborated upon, as are the basic background factors that are shaping labour policy today. Ten key ingredients of labour policy appropriate to the new world of work are then outlined and illustrated with specific policy examples. The paper concludes with a checklist of questions to ask with respect to policy initiatives in the new world of work, as well as a list of research needs to guide policy formation in this area. The suggested ingredients of a new labour policy for the new world of work are substantially different than those that were appropriate for the old world of work.
