2024 Jobs and Development Conference

The conference will take place on October 8 & 9, 2024 in Cairo, Egypt.

 

The two-day format will feature keynote speeches, a policy panel, and about 50 paper presentations in parallel sessions. The event will focus on policy-relevant research, applicable to identifying solutions to jobs challenges in low- and middle-income countries.

 

To expand the frontiers of global knowledge around jobs and advance the discussion on the most effective policies, we are interested in policy-relevant papers on all topics in labor and development economics, but especially in papers that focus on:

  • Society, economic activity and the environment
  • Trade and labor issues
  • Labor market programmes and regulation
  • Youth employment
  • Gender and labor markets
  • Immigration, migration and skills
  • Structural transformation and technological change
  • Greening, just transition, energy and jobs
  • Advancing social justice with decent work conditions
  • Skills and lifelong learning

We are particularly interested in these themes, but don’t discourage any relevant topic on jobs and development policy and issues.
