Dear colleagues,
Following our previous announcements I have now the
pleasure to enclose the final call for papers for the 1997 ILM
Conference on the theme "Understanding the School-to-Work
Transition". So far we have received provisional registrations from
a number of countries, including Australia, Britain, Denmark, Finland,
Germany, Ireland, South Africa, Switzerland and the United States.
Not unlike 1996, therefore, the 1997 ILM Conference will be a truly
international gathering of national and international experts in the
field.
With best wishes,
Thomas Lange
Head, International Labour Markets Research Network (ILM)
