IZA World of Labor is an open access resource providing evidence-based research. It is run by the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) in partnership with Bloomsbury Publishing. [1]
Overview
IZA World of Labor launched on 1 May 2014 at the Press Club in Washington D.C. to coincide with International Workers' Day. [2] It is a freely-available online resource presenting analyses of labor economics issues to inform evidence-based policy, [3] from the effect of minimum wages on employment prospects to whether demographic bulges affect youth unemployment. Each peer-reviewed article is structured in a uniform format: [4] pros and cons to demonstrate an objective view of current debates; a map showing where in the world the research has come from; data sources; and a one-page compact summary which offers quick, key facts.
The website and articles are divided into ten key areas of study: program evaluation; behavioral and personnel economics; migration; institutions; transition and emerging economies; development; environment; education and human capital; demography, family, and gender; and data and methods. The editor-in-chief is Daniel S. Hamermesh, Professor in Economics, Royal Holloway University of London and Sue Killam Professor Emeritus in the Foundation of Economics at the University of Texas at Austin.
