IZA is acting as the heart of this ambitious network. We coordinate its actitivities and organize platforms for knowledge exchange. Our dual role as global network and local institute is the key driver behind IZA’s success.

These range from education, family, environment and health to mobility, migration and development. In addition, the G²LM|LIC initiative analyzes growth and labor markets in low-income countries.
