Mission and Vision Building bridges for research in labor economics IZA is a bridge builder for research in labor economics. We narrow the distance between science and society, and transport relevant knowledge about the working world to the general public, political actors and economic players. IZA is the hub of a global network of scholars who work with us to create a sound economic understanding of how labor markets work and how labor market policies perform. We contribute to the future of labor research by supporting young scholars on their paths to becoming tomorrow’s leading academics. IZA was initiated by the Deutsche Post Foundation in 1998. The institute is based in Bonn, Germany, where a team of expert researchers studies the future of work. They deliver answers about how to effectively safeguard employment and maintain social cohesion. IZA engages in fundamental research, scientific policy advice, and active transfer of knowledge. We are impartial and follow the rules of good academic practice in all our activities. Impartial mediator between science and society IZA is driven by the conviction that excellent research in labor economics is relevant to society. Making the meaning and implications of its findings visible is a core part of our mission. We therefore engage in a comprehensive transfer of knowledge that addresses various target groups within the triangle of politics, the public and the economy. This transfer includes transparent and impartial scientific policy advice. With own and third-party funding, we initiate projects with innovative content and methodology. At IZA, we are continually advancing our research agenda to enable us to provide well-supported answers to pressing societal challenges concerning the future of work. The flagship of our science communication is the IZA World of Labor, a unique multimedia encyclopedia of current knowledge in labor economics created together with our expert contributors. Covering a broad range of often controversial labor market issues, it delivers concise surveys of research findings, which are accessible, well-balanced and policy-relevant. With our initiatives to provide matter-of-fact information on labor market issues to the public, IZA overcomes the widespread divide between practice and research, and helps prevent an erosion in the credibility of academic research. A global cluster of excellence in labor market research IZA has established itself as the leading international platform that links and disseminates cutting-edge research in all areas of labor economics. Our global network of more than 1,300 selected research fellows who are distinguished by their excellent and relevant contributions, fosters collaboration within academia as well as exchange between science and practice. IZA honors outstanding achievements in our field with the IZA Prize in Labor Economics. Topically focused program areas give clear structure to the network of IZA. Renowned scholars who have shaped the research agenda in their respective field act as program directors. They provide an impetus for research topics and organize scientific exchange on innovative research questions and methods. Thus we always keep our fingers on the pulse of international labor market research. The IZA Discussion Papers are a recognized reference for anyone interested in the latest trends in labor economics around the globe. In the series, members of our research network publish around 800 academic papers every year. They stimulate important debates at an early stage and make new knowledge public long before it appears in scientific journals. IZA builds structures that create and disseminate valuable knowledge. We organize first-rate scientific events that serve critical discussion of newest research. Events like the Transatlantic Meeting of Labor Economists build bridges between European and American labor market research. IZA coordinates the GLM|LIC initiative, which supports research projects in the world’s poorest regions and provides impulses to their development. IDSC, the Research Data Center of IZA, facilitates access to data for scientists and thus provides the raw material for empirical labor research. Exploring the changing world of work While work continues to provide the basis for our material and social well-being, it is undergoing continuous transformation. The IZA research team in Bonn explores how the world of work and labor markets are changing. It investigates how to design an institutional framework that maintains employment and social cohesion. Our research regarding the future of work is primarily empirical, grounded on solid theoretical foundations. It utilizes statistical evaluation techniques, controlled experiments, and behavioral simulation models. In its research activities, IZA involves researchers from its global network and cooperates with prestigious academic institutions, such as the University of Bonn and the briq Institute on Behavior and Inequality, which is also funded by the Deutsche Post Foundation. IZA’s in-house research on the future of work is ciurrently divided into four areas of expertise: (1) Changing World of Work, (2) Workers of the Future (3) Sustainable Labor Policies, (4) Work and Social Cohesion.
Institutet för Näringslivsforskning, IFN, är en privat och oberoende stiftelse som ägnar sig åt forskning med hög relevans för det svenska näringslivet. I dagens kunskapsintensiva och globala konkurrens ökar specialiseringen, men också behovet av breda samhällsperspektiv. Forskarna vid IFN förenas av övertygelsen att nationalekonomisk metod erbjuder ett kraftfullt verktyg för att förstå samhället. IFN är en av landets ledande forskningsmiljöer inom nationalekonomi. Vi ägnar oss åt policyrelevant forskning utan att tumma på den vetenskapliga kvaliteten. Det är enda vägen för att vinna trovärdighet bland forskare, experter och beslutsfattare. Att IFN är ett privat institut ser vi som en styrka. Statliga satsningar och prioriteringar har alltid spelat en stor roll för den nationalekonomiska forskningens inriktning. IFN har genom åren säkerställt att det funnits en företags- och näringslivsrelaterad ekonomisk forskning i Sverige. Vi var till exempel bland de första att undersöka sambandet mellan entreprenörskap och ekonomisk tillväxt. Vi har en lång tradition av att bedriva forskning med hög integritet och kvalitet. Forskningsämnena skiftar med tiden och vi strävar efter att så tidigt som möjligt hitta de mest angelägna frågorna. Därigenom kan vi vara en viktig aktör i såväl forskarvärlden som samhällsdebatten. Magnus Henrekson, professor och vd

The IAB was founded on April 1, 1967 with the appointment of its first director, Dieter Mertens. A month later, it began work with the hiring of its first employees. Initially, there was no legal basis for founding the institute within the former Federal Labor Office (BA). The founding was essentially, if not exclusively, the result of the controversial automation debate. It was about the connection between technical progress and economic and social development. Experts feared at that time considerable releases or at least hitherto unknown breaks in employment biographies as a result of the progressing automation of production. At the turn of the year 1964/1965, the head of the BA therefore introduced conceptional preliminary considerations which for the first time addressed the aims and possibilities of labor market and occupational research. The considerations resulted in the working group "structural change of the economy" with well-known scientists and scientists. This working group developed proposals on the tasks, working methods and organization of labor market research. These were taken up by the self-government of the Federal Labor Office, namely the Committee on Technical Progress and the Labor Market. The committee then launched at the end of 1965 a work plan for the establishment of the IAB. It was only four years later that labor market and occupational research was enshrined as a task of the Federal Institute in the Labor Promotion Act adopted in 1969. The founding of the IAB came at a time when politics was anxious to underpin scientific and economic policy issues as much as possible scientifically. Especially the 60s and early 70s were therefore characterized by research efforts of many departments, which led to the emergence of numerous scientific institutions. Worth mentioning here are the German Youth Institute, the Federal Institute for Vocational Training, the German Institute for Urban Studies or the Institute of Population Sciences at the Federal Statistical Office. Another expression of the need for policy advice was the establishment of the German Council of Economic Experts for the Review of Macroeconomic Development. Development of research work In the early start-up phase - unlike today's case - the focus was not on broad policy advice, but on the task of supporting the placement and advisory services of the Federal Labor Office with scientifically sound (occupational) forecasts. However, the importance of labor market research soon grew. This was subsequently legitimized by the Employment Promotion Act (AFG). The law formulated the research assignment to the IAB more comprehensively than was provided for in the Federal Institute. Labor market research should then lay the scientific foundation for the use of labor market policy measures and contribute to their optimization. In order to do justice to its research mandate, in mid-1967 the IAB established areas covering a broad interdisciplinary spectrum (such as macroeconomics, sociology and occupational research). In the foreground was the projection of the short-term and long-term labor market development as well as the question of the causes of the observed changes nationally and internationally. The role of technology in the production process and the qualifications and occupations in individual labor market integration have also been the subject of important research strands. Another focus in the 1990s was macroeconomic policy analysis using the so-called "sysifo model". In it simulations were used to illustrate the effects of political measures on the macroeconomic level. After completing the start-up phase, the IAB had around 100 scientific and non-academic staff members. By the end of the 80s, there was little change in the number of staff. At the beginning of the nineties he increased because the tasks had grown in the course of reunification. In some cases, employees from the Central Research Institute for Labor (ZFA), which was dissolved in 1991, were taken over in Dresden. According to this, the IAB, including the research staff at the base work stations (now project staff of the IAB), had about 140 employees by the end of 2003. The doubling of the workforce up to the current status had different reasons, which will be discussed in more detail in the following chapters. Of importance were the establishment of the Regional Research Network, which emerged from the posts of the previously assigned to the state employment offices research papers, and the founding of the Research Data Center (FDZ) of the BA. In addition, the number of staff increased due to the establishment of the IAB as a special department of the BA and the associated new administrative tasks. Finally, the additional research contract in SGB II was accompanied by a further increase in personnel.
