Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Labour Economics focuses on the analysis of labor markets, including employment, wages, and labor supply. Recent research investigates the impact of economic shocks and policy interventions on labor market outcomes, such as the effects of mining booms on earnings and employment across sectors and regions. The journal also examines disparities in labor market outcomes for specific demographic groups, including transgender individuals and unmarried mothers, and explores factors influencing hireability and job quality, such as non-employment history and the Earned Income Tax Credit. Additionally, research addresses the influence of peer effects, personality traits like grit, and human capital development on long-term career outcomes and well-being, including mental health and delayed retirement.
