Asia's future of work, understood from within

We bring research, policy and business together to understand why work is changing across Asia, and equip organisations with the tools to respond, through Asian perspectives often missing from the global conversation.

CURRENT PROJECT

ARC x TNN

Positioning peer support in Hong Kong's mental health system

TNN is working with ARC to understand where peer support sits within Hong Kong's wider mental health system and to translate what TNN has learned into guidance the sector can use.

WHO WE ARE

Asia is not catching up.
It is setting the pace

Asia Research Collective (ARC) is an independent research organisation built on a simple belief: the future of work in Asia should be shaped from within, and together. We close the gaps where existing data misses the region's workforce, and connect the sectors that need to act on it.

WHAT WE DO

Three parts. One Collective.

Each part of ARC has its own purpose. Together, they connect research, policy and business to shape the future of work in Asia.

THE dialogue

ARC Collective

An open space where researchers, policymakers and businesses share knowledge, elevate Asian perspectives and act together on the future of work.

Institute

THE APPLICATION

ARC
Studio

Workshops, consulting and bespoke research that help organisations turn evidence into practical change, guided by the team behind the research.

Our approach

Research that reflects Asia

01 — PERSPECTIVE

Asian-led thinking

Our research starts from Asian schools of thought and lived realities, so it reflects how people across the region actually work, lead and progress.

02 — VOICES

Representative by design

We seek out voices often missing from workforce data, so our insight reflects the whole of society, not just its most visible part.

03 — VALUE

Built to compound

Our longitudinal research grows year on year, building a body of knowledge that serves the public good and informs practical change.

WHERE WE WORK

Across Asia,
from the ground up.

From fast-growing economies to ageing societies, the future of work looks different in every market. We work across the region to understand those differences, and what they mean for the people and organisations living them.
