About the workshop:
The ongoing Great Recession has confronted policy makers with new challenges in labor markets around the world. A wide range of policies have been adopted, but their effects remain unclear. The IZA Journal of Labor Policy and the IZA Journal of European Labor Studies joined forces to tackle this gap at a workshop on Labor Market Reforms during the Great Recession: Challenges and Opportunities. The workshop shed light on policy successes and failures from a national or comparative perspective.
