2017 IBS Jobs Conference – registration for participants
November 17 2017
9 sessions about different aspects of labour economics, over 20 presentations, researchers from all over the world. We publish the detailed conference agenda.
The main focus of the conference will be on population ageing, technology, the distribution of skills and tasks, and inequalities in the labour markets. Technology progress and demographic change affect labour markets around the world. They influence the structure of labour demand and labour supply, may drive skill mismatches and can aggravate inequalities in wages, income and job quality. The conference aims to deepen the understanding of how these phenomena shape the labour markets around the world and what policies could be formed to address the resulting challenges.
The conference will cover the following issues:
- Technology and its effects on the global division of work
- Structural change and occupational change
- Demand for skills and tasks
- Population ageing and its impact on labour markets
- Wage inequalities and gender gaps
The conference will have an international focus and will gather researchers and policy-makers from around the world. The event will also facilitate the exchange of ideas between the researchers in these topics.
We encourage you to see:
- the detailed agenda,
- the conference website (with links to papers),
