Looking at Labour Markets from a Multidimensional Perspective: the quality of employment in South America

Hosted by the International Inequalities Institute
Hong Kong Theatre, Clement House
Tuesday 19 Nov 2019 6.30pm - 8pm

This event discusses a multidimensional methodology for measuring the quality of employment from the perspective of the capability approach that can be used to complement traditional measures of labour market performance such as participation or unemployment rates. The results can usefully inform public policymakers in developing countries to help them identify the most vulnerable workers and design social and labour policies accordingly.

Speaker: Professor Kirsten Sehnbruch (@Kirst_inChile) is British Academy Global Professor and Distinguished Policy Fellow at the International Inequalities Institute, LSE.

Discussant: Professor Andrés Velasco (@AndresVelasco) is Dean of the School of Public Policy at LSE

Chair: Professor Stephen Machin (@s_machin_) is Professor of Economics and Director of Centre for Economic Performance.
