Labor Markets, Inequality, and Economic Policy
EDI’s inaugural projects focus on labor markets and the connections between unemployment, precarious employment, and broader socioeconomic deprivations. They examine the looming challenges faced by working people before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the structural forces within labor markets that produce and reproduce inequality and social exclusion. By advancing cutting-edge economic thinking and leveraging the interdisciplinary research and teaching methods of experts across the OSUN network and beyond, EDI explores policy solutions for a just and sustainable future.
