2. Labour market and education

Research related to the functioning of the Finnish labour market plays a key role in our activities. The research focuses on empirical projects that are relevant to wage earners. Our research can be applied in political decision-making. In addition to producing high-quality research, our aim is to provide solution-oriented research and to interact with those who utilise this information. Our empirical research utilises to a large extent individual-level data.

Our labour market and education research covers the following themes

• wage formation
• employment and unemployment
• structural changes in the labour market
• gender equality in the labour market
• labour market flexibility, employment relations
• occupational wellbeing, working conditions and health
• education and training systems
• migration
• taxes and social security, incentives
