So very delighted to see our paper (with the amazing @tfliao) published @ESR_news!

We find that the prevalence, frequency and duration of unemployment can explain part of the rise in the Dutch wage disparities!

[Irma Mooi-Reci @IrmaMooi]

Mismatches between educational qualifications and occupations lead to health issues.

Why? Because of psychosocial rather than material problems.

Some colleagues (and sometimes myself) have wondered what I have been doing behind my computer for the last two years. Enough suspense!
@thijs_bol and I are happy to share the pre-print of our (affectionally called) "bundles of skills paper".

When can immigrant educational selectivity explain second-generation attainment?

@ReneeLuthra and I outline some conditions and analyze a case where they are not met (the UK).

New analysis of the 🇳🇱 2017-'19 reform increasing youth minimum wage showed no negative employment effects and wage increases for young workers, together with positive spillover effects, especially for low-wage workers. 👇

[Marie Labussière @LabussiereMarie]

Very much looking forward to presenting joint work with @thijs_bol at @CRIS_SciencesPo next week! 👇

Is there such a thing as unskilled labor?
And do fast-food workers develop skills as McDonald's ads suggest?
@LabussiereMarie gives her 2 cents in this new blog post on the @CAREER_erc project!

Next Monday, in Venice, I will present our work on estimating the returns to education and early-career experience for young French people, with R. Gary-Bobo and D. Argan.@CrestUmr @Ensai35

[Wouter Zwysen @WZwysen]

Very interesting talk on gender pay and employment gaps - showing slow progress being made. In a recent @ETUI_org paper we look in detail at men and women working different jobs, link with inequality, and how this itself affects pay differences https://t.co/Je3CsQNfE9

[Hugo Reichardt @ReichardtHugo]

🚨 I am excited to share my JMP!

"Scale-Biased Technical Change and Inequality"

I propose a new theory on why some technologies increase inequality, while others reduce it. I provide causal evidence from the adoption of steam engines and electric motors to support the theory.

[Jeevitha Yogachandiran Qvist @JeevithaQ]

How do the employer and workplace influence the working career of older employees? In this brand new Socio-Economic Review @SASE_Meeting paper I look at the impact of workplace retention practices on older employees' early labour market exit in DK (1/5)
