The IZA World of Labor Project

IZA World of Labor is a highly innovative product developed by IZA in partnership with Bloomsbury Publishing Plc. and supported by the World Bank.
Klaus F. Zimmermann as Editor-in-Chief and Alexander Kritikos as Managing Editor are leading this cutting-edge project.

Written by the best and brightest labor economists around the world, the findings in each contribution will be presented in a compact and highly readable format, as a distillation of the existing comprehensive evidence-based research. The novelty of IZA World of Labor thus lies not in the generation of new findings, but in its presentation of research in an absolutely unique and highly topical style, and its provision to the key labor market stakeholders around the world.

The IZA World of Labor will include a global, freely accessible online platform as well as book publications (in print and as e-books) with approximately 500 English-language contributions. All contributions will be single-authored to give great credibility to each contribution and to enhance the trustworthiness of the results. All contributions will be peer reviewed and carefully edited by a team of experienced writers to guarantee high research standards and quality.

IZA World of Labor addresses decision-makers interested in labor economics worldwide, in particular: Ministers and Secretaries of State; members of Parliament and their scientific officers; senior legal secretaries and their officers; representatives of employers, companies, and unions; members of such organizations as ILO, OECD, World Bank; NGOs and their staff members; CEOs and senior managers; churches; economics journalists.
