The research area “Integration into Labour Markets” investigates individual employment and wage dynamics, the integration of the long-term unemployed and other at-risk groups into labour markets, as well as the convergence of labour markets in East and West Germany. Furthermore, the researchers evaluate the effectiveness of policy measures to improve integration opportunities. The research focus is responsible for coordinating the DFG Priority Programme 1764 “The German Labour in a Globalized World: Challenges through Trade, Technology and Demographics”.
