The 10th Austrian Labor Economics Workshop will be held at the Chamber of Labour (Arbeiterkammer) in Vienna this year, on Friday, 30th October 2026.
The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussion of recent research projects in the broad field of labor economics. Contributions of empirical and theoretical studies are welcome, including topics related to labor markets, social policy, income distribution, migration, education, health, or gender economics. We want to bring together researchers working with a wide range empirical and theoretical approaches and adopting micro- and macro-economic perspectives.
The workshop offers room for an open and collegial discussion and welcomes preliminary or controversial research.
