We are kicking off the WeLaR Workshop on labour market institutions and risks at the Università degli Studi di Perugia. 🎯 The event opens with a session exploring the intersection between innovation and labour. In the first presentation, Kenta Ikeuchi (RIETI) will present his work on the relationship between innovative capital and rent-sharing. Sem Vandekerckhove (HIVA-KU Leuven) will examine evolving dynamics of bargaining models, the quality of work, and rent-sharing in the era of digitalisation. Katsufumi Fukuda (Chukyo University) looks at how AI affects the labour share. 🎯 Session 2 shifts the focus to gender gaps. Seamus McGuinness (Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) will analyse the effects of minimum wage increases on hours worked by gender and sector. Piotr Lewandowski (IBS - Institute for Structural Research) will discuss the relationship between job tasks, working hours, and the gender pay gap. 🎯 Session 3 zooms in on vulnerabilities. Sandra Leitner (The Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies (wiiw)) will talk about the influence of trade unions on quality of work. Wojciech Szymczak (IBS - Institute for Structural Research) will explore how unions and technology affect atypical employment. Fabrizio Pompei (University of Perugia) discusses how labour and product market regulations affect vulnerability. 🎯 The final session will focus on labour market flows. Maria Cristina D’Aguanno (Università degli Studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia) will investigate the drivers of in-work poverty in the EU and Fabio Lamperti (University of Perugia) will talk about the risk of labour market exclusion in the EU. We are excited for a day of engaging discussions!
