Pathways to Inclusive Labour Markets

Policy Debate of the Hour
On the Cutting Edge
The current edition of the CESifo EconPol Forum journal devotes its Policy Debate of the Hour section to making Pillars’ research findings accessible to policymakers, other researchers, and interested parties in general. Its nine articles cover the many parts skills will play, or how they will be affected, as technology makes inroads; the effects of technology exposure on regions, on exports, and on the native-immigrant balance; the effects of institutional design; brain drain from Europe to China, and much more.

A Pillar of Society
There are many ways to make a useful contribution to society. Francesco Trentini chose to do it through research, supported by his prowess in applying artificial intelligence to big data, aimed at improving labor markets. And to do it at Pillars. Everybody wins.

Mastering Technological and Structural Change
Brussels Conference Wrap-Up
Who would have thought that smart growth does not lead to inclusive growth? Or that having a smartphone makes the realisation of the desire to emigrate more likely? The Pillars EconPol conference in Brussels illuminated these and many other issues shaping our labor markets, now and in the years to come. Lots of robots, artificial intelligence and big data played starring roles in the quest for answers. Read the conference report here.

SPRU-Pillars EconPol Event
From Silos to Synergies
There are worse things in life than decamping to a leafy island right across the water from San Marco in Venice. And if you can check the “work” box for it, well, that much better. SPRU and Pillars will be holding a workshop at the famed lagoon town in June 2023, devoted to combining different disciplinary approaches to tackle the effects that technological change will have on the future of work, instead of letting each discipline toil away on its own silo.

Over two days, scholars from the various disciplines will be able to assess jointly the expected effects the current—and future—waves of technological change will have on labor markets. If you want to be a part of it, check out the call for papers. Just click on this text.
