The future of labor is shaped by three distinct factors. On the demand side, globalization and fast-paced technological progress lead to reorganization and new forms of work. On the supply side, training, mobility and population aging determine the scope and social consequences of these adjustments. Additionally, the interplay of supply and demand is subject to a third major factor: the responses of various labor market institutions and government policies. This research program focuses on critical developments taking place in the labor market, providing enhanced understanding of labor market dynamics. How will work patterns and time use evolve? What are the ingredients of successful career paths in the labor market? What institutional changes and economic and social policies can improve the working of the labor market? How will collective employment relations evolve? What is the role of ethnicity/race/gender/age in the future of labor markets?
