The purpose of the 2019 workshop of IZA's "Labor Statistics" program area is to bring together senior and junior researchers to discuss their recent empirical research related to contract work.
For its 100th anniversary, the ILO is inviting young people from all over the world for a Summer Academy and Global Debate on the Future of Work.
The aim of this year’s meeting is to bring together senior and junior researchers to discuss their most recent research related to labor market institutions.
The aim of the workshop is to bring together about 25 researchers working on the economics of education.
Most empirical research on skills (cognitive and non-cognitive) and preferences has largely relied on data from high-income, industrialized countries. There is, however, a growing literature that extends this line of research to post-transition and emerging economies, which may be of particular scientific interest because it gives the opportunity to study contexts with a much wider variability of conditions.
The joint Cedefop/OECD symposium on apprenticeship brings together policy makers, practitioners and researchers from around the world to consider new research exploring the next steps for apprenticeship provision. The symposium organisers would welcome contributions on how apprenticeship provision is changing or would need to change in response to external mega trends, such as socio-demographic and socio-economic changes, new technologies and labour market changes, new forms of work organisation, trends in education and training.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2019, and to mark the occasion they will be holding a series of events throughout the year where they draw on this experience to consider these big issues and discuss what evidence-based analysis can tell us about how to understand and respond to them. Events in this series will feature expert insight from IFS researchers and key commentators on each topic, and there will be plenty of time for discussion and debate.
The Program Committee invites submissions for about 14 presentations from academic researchers doing program evaluation research on policy issues related to the labor market. Papers that include innovative approaches or methodological contributions are of particular interest.
The workshop will focus on the causes and effects of heterogeneity among workers, households, or firms on macroeconomic outcomes.
ADAPT’s International Conference this year is on the topic of “'Labour is not a commodity', today: the value of work and its rules between innovation and tradition". The X international conference on the new Great Transformation of Work is organized in partnership with the ILO and CIELO Laboral Network and under the auspices of the World Employment Confederation (WEC).
The main aim of the program is to bring outstanding PhD students to Washington, DC in order to meet with leading labor economists during seminars as well as personal meetings at local universities and public institutions such as the World Bank or the Inter-American Development Bank.
The program is designed for advanced PhD students from outside the US working in the field of labor economics who have either a job or research related interest in local universities or public institutions in the DC area. The number of participants is limited to a maximum of 10 students.
