Our dedicated research team explores diverse topics connected to skills, workforce dynamics, and the evolving nature of work. United by a shared emphasis on inequality, our internationally recognized studies examine disparities in educational opportunities, skill acquisition, and job access, as well as imbalances in workplace hierarchies, treatment, and the worldwide allocation of labor and resources. We employ an interdisciplinary methodology rooted in social sciences, integrating perspectives from sociology, public policy, education, political science, labor relations, business administration, psychological studies, and economic theory. Each investigation ties into broader questions about market capitalism's historical trajectory, current state, and future prospects, engaging with themes of capital-labor relations, government-market interactions, ethical economic systems, equitable societies, and neoliberal political economy.
