IAB Conference ‘Investigating social inequalities using survey and register data’

Conferences and Workshops

Rising costs of living and the lack of affordable housing have brought social inequalities back to the centre of political debates in many countries. Large, high quality survey and register data provide social scientists with a solid foundation to explore topics in inequality research and to gain unique and valuable insights fostering both scholarly and public discussion.

In this conference, which will be part of a two-day celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Research Data Centre of the BA at the IAB (IAB-FDZ), we bring together scholars from various disciplines to discuss their work based on IAB-FDZ data products or similar research data made available by other national or international data providers.

We invite empirical contributions on all topics addressing social inequalities connected to labour markets, demographic change, as well as occupational or educational choice. This might include (but is not limited to) effects of labour market interventions, technological change (greening economy, digitalisation, AI), voluntary and forced migration, social stratification, working and living conditions and gender topics.

Furthermore, the Journal for Labour Market Research (JLMR) plans a Special Issue celebrating 20 years of IAB-FDZ with Till von Wachter (UCLA) as guest editor. The Journal for Labour Market Research is an interdisciplinary, peer reviewed, open access journal in the field of labour market research and publishes papers in English language concerning the labour market, employment, education/training and careers (https://labourmarketresearch.springeropen.com/). All presenters are invited to submit their manuscripts emerging from the presented research to this Special Issue by December 1st, 2024. Acceptance is contingent on successful peer review.
