The research group examines the causes and consequences of structural changes in employment, unemployment, and income in imperfect labor markets, as well as the effects of labor market policy frameworks. It explores how and why work and working conditions evolve, particularly in response to technological and demographic change.

The group’s methodological focus lies on statistical and econometric analyses of administrative and survey-based microdata, as well as on quantitative structural modeling.
