II Biannual Workshop: “Technological Change, Health, Inequality and Data for Policy Evaluation”

The workshop is organized by LABORatorio Revelli – Center for Employment Studies and Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto, within the Youth Employment PartnerSHIP project, and stems from the LABORatorio’s twenty-year experience in the study of labor market dynamics and aims to promote the exchange of research ideas among the scientific community.

The workshop will propose two thematic sessions: “Technological change in the workplace during the fourth industrial revolution” and “Health and inequality”. Maria Savona (SPRU Science Policy Research Unit, University of Sussex UK and Department of Economics and Finance, Luiss University) and Giuseppe Costa (University of Torino) will give the keynote speeches.

A policy-oriented session (in Italian) on the use of models and data for the design and evaluation of employment policies will further enrich the program. This section is organized within the framework of the “Youth Employment PartnerSHIP project and will host a speech by Fabio Rapiti (National Statistical Office).

The workshop will host papers and posters presentations, split evenly on the two thematic sections.

Venue: Collegio Carlo Alberto. An online channel will be open for those not able to attend in presence.
