Over the course of the past five years, the Feminist Futures Programme has explored a number of different themes and ideas. These range from the feminist case for a universal basic income, to the cultural politics of media framings of work, to the role of historical labour struggles in imagining better futures.

On its fifth birthday, this report, edited by Feminist Futures lead Helen Hester and Autonomy’s Chief Executive Will Stronge, collates texts that span the breadth of the programme: from sex work, to care work, and gig work, all teasing the gendered political implications of the treatment of such work in relation to changing labour markets and digital technologies.
