Reducing social and life course inequalities in preventive practices
Dirigé par Stéphane Cullati, Piet Bracke, Claudine Burton-Jeangros, Sorana Toma, Katrijn Delaruelle
This research project aims to understand how health and social policies can reduce social and life course inequalities in preventive healthcare practices during middle and early old age. Preventive practices, like cancer screening, are crucial for healthy aging, but inequalities in accessing these practices have remained persistent in high-income countries for decades.
The Empty Office: An International Study of Teleworking
Dirigé par Mattia Vacchiano
The COVID-19 pandemic has given teleworking a strong impulse, making it a more important object of research than ever before. It is forecast that the digitization of work will become increasingly important in the coming years and will transform the lives of both workers and firms.

To this end, LEARN will use an…
Uncovering the anatomy of discrimination
Dirigé par Michele Pellizzari
Identifying and understanding discrimination is notoriously difficult because it requires disentangling legitimate differences in ability or productivity from differences in outcomes due to discrimination. In this project, we plan to use detailed administrative records about the bar exam to access the legal profession in Italy to study discrimination along various important dimensions.
