About the Workshop |
In the last decade we have seen rising inequality in earnings and incomes in many post-transition and emerging economies, which has been exacerbated by the CORONA pandemic. A greater incidence of temporary employment, informal employment and a rise in the importance of the Gig Economy have all contributed to this trend. The CORONA crisis has exacerbated inequality trends along the formal-informal divide and by gender. This crisis has also amplified the divergence in the access to education for children with long-term consequences of human capital formation for children from poorer households resulting in even more inequality in the long run. |
|
The workshop, organized by IZA, will focus on the determinants of inequality in post-transition and emerging economies. Possible topics include but are not limited to: |
|
- The role of labor market segregation along the formal-informal divide
- Temporary jobs as transit to permanent employment or dead-end jobs
- Trading off job insecurity for higher wages in the Gig Economy
- Drivers of job polarization in post-transition and emerging economies
- Gender inequality in the face of the CORONA crisis or changing social norms
- Inequality in educational opportunities for children in the CORONA crisis and long-term consequences
- Policy interventions to combat rising inequality: Success and failures
