Legal migrants from both European and non-European countries are helping address labour shortages in many EU economies, filling positions in sectors that struggle to attract and retain local workers, and taking jobs that are less desirable to natives, a recent paper by Project UNTANGLED found.
UNTANGLED researchers contributed to a book on the main drivers of earnings inequality in low and middle-income countries. The publication fills the gap in the literature on labour-market polarisation in developing countries by studying the role of skills, institutions, and occupational tasks in the evolution of earnings inequality.
The one-day UNTANGLED workshop gathered 23 labour market economists from European universities and research institutes to discuss and reflect on 10 papers on skill changes and the value of skills.
UNTANGLED will host a workshop titled “Skill Changes and the Value of Skills” on 15 June in Warsaw. This event provides an opportunity for us to present the latest findings from our project and engage in discussion with labour market scholars.
