About the Program |
We are pleased to announce a Conference on “Adverse Health Conditions and Labor Market Policies”. This conference is a joint initiative of the Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) and UWV (the Dutch Employee Insurance Agency). The aim is to bring together academic presentations and policy discussion about the implementation of academic insights. The academic part will cover March 19 and ends around lunch-time on March 20. After that, the program continues with a policy discussion about evidence-based work in the practice of re-integration. The conference dinner takes place on the evening of March 19.
The keynote lecture will be delivered by Knut Røed (Ragnar Frisch Centre for Economic Research, University of Oslo and IZA).
The Program Committee invites submissions for at least 10 presentations by academic researchers working on issues related to (partly) disabled and sick-listed workers.
Topics include (but are not limited to):
- Active labor market policies (ALMP) for individuals with adverse health conditions
- Profiling and targeting instruments to select individuals into such ALMP
- Long-term effects of training and other ALMP for these groups
- Policies to influence the inflow into social security due to sickness or disability
- Policies to influence sickness and disability focusing on the employer side
- Health effects of labor market policies
