With our local team and global network, we conduct pioneering research in labor economics. In-depth empirical research is 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 debate. 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.
Our in-house research agenda is made up of four overarching topics: (1) Changing World of Work, (2) Workers of the Future, (3) Sustainable Labor Policies, (4) Work and Social Cohesion.
Our local research teams analyze challenges for the future of work related to digitalization, new skill requirements, institutional change, and the impact of innovative labor market policies.
While pursuing our own ambitious research agenda, we also provide in-depth scientific analyses for national and international policy institutions as an independent, nonpartisan entity.
IZA coordinates and supports the world’s largest research network in labor economics, comprising more than 1,800 scholars from over 60 countries. Our extensive network activities are the cornerstone of our success.
We offer a wide range of publications that cater to both an academic and a general audience.
Our ambitious event agenda consists of annual conferences, focused workshops, and weekly seminars. Forthcoming events include:
