Call for Papers

Training, education and the labour market

Deadline: June 30th, 2024

Aims and Topics

The labor market is subject to constant change. To meet the challenges of developments such as technological and ecological transformation, the shortage of skilled workers, or demographic change, education and training are becoming increasingly important. The workshop ›Training, Education and the Labor Market‹ focuses on education and training in the context of such societal challenges. We invite researchers to submit papers that study these developments with respect to educational decisions before and during working life, transitions out of and into education, returns to education, the role of institutional settings, as well as the relationship between occupations and education.

We encourage contributions on these specific topics but also appreciate more general contributions on labor market-related research that deals with the areas of vocational training and education, further training and higher education. While the following list is not exhaustive, we are looking for papers that address any of the following topics from a labor market perspective:

Research perspectives on education and training

  • Regional and national perspectives
  • Individual and firm perspectives

Characteristics of (non-)participants in education and training

  • Gender
  • Migration
  • Social background
  • Occupations

Educational segments

  • School-to-work transitions
  • Vocational education and training
  • Higher education
