Our four assignments are determined by the government. The four assignments mean that we are to study and diffuse information about labour market-, educational and social insurance policy and the functioning of the labour market.

Within the area of labour market policy we follow up and evaluate new and old labour market policy programmes. We also study the effects of the design of the unemployment insurance. How programmes affect the income and employment effects of the participants is of importance. The analyses are made for different groups (for example women, foreign born individuals and individuals with low education). IFAU also compiles research surveys on the effects of labour market policy.

Below, you will find some of our research projects on labour market policy. If you want to learn more about our research projects, you are very welcome to contact us
