Call for Papers and Posters for "Workshop on Health, Retirement, Mismatch and Data for Policy Evaluation"

The workshop stems from the LABORatorio’s twenty-year experience in the study of labor market dynamics and aims to promote the exchange of research ideas among the scientific community.

The workshop will propose two thematic sessions on “The effect of retirement policies on health, informal caring and access to social welfare programs” and on “Educational and skill mismatch”, for which a call for papers and posters is open (details below).

Agar Brugiavini (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice), Giovanni Russo (CEDEFOP) and Paolo Vineis (Imperial College of London) will give the keynote speeches. Also, the workshop will host the presentation of the results from the project The health equity impact of increasing age of retirement: the contribution of Italian longitudinal studies funded by the Italian Ministry of Health (RF-2016-02364270) and a roundtable on the Use of administrative data for policy evaluation introduced by Paolo Paruolo (Joint Research Center of the European Commission).
