The current “future of work” discourse refers to the transformation of today`s economies through the “digital revolution”. Many of the rather optimistic capital and Eurocentric analyses promotes the idea of quick, technology-driven fixes for complex problems. However, such proposals lead to a deepening of the existing extractivist economic models and their negative consequences for women and workers rather than to significant transformation towards just human development socially, environmentally and gender equality. Ecofeminists in Latin America have been fighting extractivism for decades. Their critique and life experience, grounded in local alternatives, show a way to a different approach to human development and promote meaningful lives in a feminist future, based on respect for humans, nature and workers’ livelihoods.
