Dr Sangwoo Lee on the Latest ONS Employment Statistics

Congratulations to our graduating PhD students
Graduation provides a welcome opportunity to reflect on and celebrate the successes of our students. This past academic year, two IER PhD students successfully completed their PhD studies, Dr Andreana Glendinning and Dr Danya Nusseir. We also had the opportunity to belatedly celebrate the graduation of Dr Xiaotong Zhang.
Unemployment protection in changing labour markets
The International Labour Organization's Future of Work initiative and the United Nation's Sustainability Goals call for inclusiveness by providing more reliable and adequate social protection. This , authored by Sonja Bekker , IER鈥檚 Trine Pernille Larsen and Janine Leschke, focuses on unemployment insurance benefits (UIB), drawing on examples primarily from European Union countries, arguing that the future of work is closely tied to proactive and inclusive support or the unemployed, geared to supporting labour market transitions.
