Labor Markets
J-PAL’s Labor Markets sector focuses on increasing people’s economic opportunities and bolstering their livelihoods through work. The sector evaluates labor market policies and strategies to increase employment and earnings and improve quality of work.
In addition to supporting policymakers in applying evidence from randomized evaluations to their work, sector chairs and staff write Policy Insights that synthesize general lessons emerging from the research, condense results from evaluations in policy publications and evaluation summaries, and fund new research through the Jobs and Opportunity Initiative.
