IZA - Shaping the Future of Labor

Logo
IZA is a private, independent research institute, which conducts nationally and internationally oriented labor market research. Operating as a non-profit limited liability company, it receives financial support from the Deutsche Post Foundation. Additional funding for specific research programs, projects, reports and events is drawn from various government institutions, international organizations and other foundations, which are made transparent on the respective websites and publications.

IZA sees itself as an international research institute and a place for communication between academic science, politics, and economic practice. A number of renowned economists involved in specific research projects cooperate with IZA, either internally or on a "virtual" basis. IZA also takes an active part in international research networks.

In conducting labor market research, IZA cooperates closely with the Economics Department at the University of Bonn. IZA plays a central role in the department's graduate education program at the Bonn Graduate School of Economics (BGSE). On a regular basis, IZA offers lectures and seminars in econometrics and labor market economics.

Beyond fundamental research, IZA offers policy advice on today's labor market issues and provides relevant information to the general public.
