We invite paper and/or panel submissions to our section:

Activation and its Challenges: Investigating the Underexplored Dimensions of Active Labour Market Policies

At the ECPR General Conference in Hamburg, 22-25 August 2018

We want to enable the discussion of what we know about the effectiveness and shortcomings of ALMPs three decades after these started to diffuse. Moreover, we will advance the debate about what is required for these measures to successfully adapt to the new reality of changing labour markets. To this aim we welcome both qualitative and quantitative papers that provide an assessment of these measures, and discuss their suitability for the modern economy.

For more information on the panel and how to submit please consult the following link:

Deadline for contributions is the 15^th of February

We look forward to receiving many interesting paper
