At the cutting edge of labor market research

IZA researchers at our headquarters in Bonn and Berlin conduct pioneering research in labor economics. In-depth empirical research constitutes the foundation of our independent advice provided to policymakers, business, and society. A key objective of our work is to transfer new knowledge from academic science into the public discourse.

We coordinate and support the world’s largest network in labor economics. Our extensive network activities stimulate our local research agenda and contribute to our success. Drawing on the synergies between our in-house research teams and our international network of scholars, IZA has created a unique platform for scientific exchange at the cutting edge of labor market research.
