IAAEU at the GLO Conference

This year's Global Labour Organization (GLO) conference took place as a hybrid event from December 3 to 5. Björn Becker participated virtually, while Laszlo Goerke attended the meeting in Bonn in person.

Björn Becker kicked things off with his project, "Higher Education, Lower Satisfaction: Hypogamy and Traditional Norms in Japan," presented during the online Job Market Session Asia, which took place early Wednesday morning. The study explores how traditional norms influence the satisfaction of women who have a higher level of education than their husbands.

At the Science Center Bonn, Laszlo Goerke talked about "Councils of Contentment: Works Councils and Income Perceptions," an investigation co-authored by Yue Huang and Sven Hartmann also working at the IAAEU. The three researchers investigate how works councils influence employee satisfaction with their income.
