In the past decade, research on regulating decent work has grown significantly. It has examined precarious work, global supply chains, and the need for stronger labor standards at national and international levels. However, this opening keynote aims to go beyond that by including finance capital in the discussion. It will present a research agenda to enhance our understanding of regulating finance for decent work.
