IAB Colloquium on Labour Market and Occupational Research 2011

The discussion series "Labour Market and Occupational Research (IAB-Colloquium zur Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung)" is a forum where primarily external researchers present the results of their work and discuss these with experts from IAB. Normally discussion revolves around projects that have already been completed or are at a fairly advanced stage. The main aim of the discussion series is to support the exchange of information between IAB and other research institutes. Practitioners from the political, administrative and business fields are naturally also welcome.
