Labor Chair: Call for applications of the Labor Chair

The wide variety of challenges facing employees, companies and institutions finds a particular echo in the field of academic research. As a meeting point for often contradictory interests and visions, the labor market is a crucial issue, particularly for public authorities. At the same time, it represents a formidable field of study, exchange and debate for economists.
The aim of the Labor Chair is to create a network of affiliated researchers, and to disseminate and make accessible academic work. In this way, it helps refine our understanding of the evolution of work, and the dynamics of employment, wages and unemployment.
The Chair’s activities include:
PSE Chaired professor and Labor Chair holder
Executive director of the Labor Chair
Sabine Bessière (Head of the Studies and Research Department, France Travail), Emmanuel Chion (Deputy Director of Statistics, France Travail), Laurent Kandel (Research Expert, Ville de Paris), Patricia Quintanilla (Jobs and Skills Project Manager, Délégation générale à l’emploi et à la formation professionnelle), and Véronique Simonnet (Head of the Mission de l’animation de la recherche, Dares).
