Labour market indicators
The course aims to familiarize students with the different indicators generally used for the analysis of the labor market. It consists of several chapters. Each of them answers a question related to labor market statistics:
1. Understanding the indicator: Where does the data come from?
- Focus on administrative data
- Focus on survey data
2. LM diagnosis: what indicators to use to understand a country's labor market?
3. Employment policies: what are the government's means of action?
4. Poverty and labor
The course also includes a practical part: students will have to use the main databases accessible online and work in Excel
