Rabat

IZA and the World Bank welcomes you to the Third Conference on Employment and Development in Rabat, Morocco on 5-6 May 2008.

    The  World  Bank  has  put  forward  a  strategy  that  aims  at  assisting the international  research  community  to  address  priority areas within the labor market.  In  2006, the World Bank and the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) have  launched  a new IZA research area on "Employment and Development."  At the core  of  this partnership are the series of international annual conferences to provide  a  platform to bring together researchers and policy makers from around the  world to discuss and present their work in these priority areas. 

  The first two  conferences,  held in Germany, were very successful and have attracted high volume  of  quality research and policy discussion on employment and development from   around  the  world.   More  than  100  policy  makers  and international researchers participated at the two precedent events.

  Organizing  the  third  annual  conference  in  Morocco aims at accelerating the momentum  and  making this research and policy forum more accessible to networks in developing countries, especially in the region of North Africa and the Middle East. Parallel sessions will be organized as will keynote speakers and a policy and an academic panel sessions.
