UNTANGLED is a three-year interdisciplinary Horizon 2020 research project that seeks to examine the interconnected trends of globalisation, demographic change and technological transformation, and their effects on labour markets in the European Union and beyond. By engaging a broad range of stakeholders, including companies and civil society organisations, we will develop practical policy proposals to help governments cushion the negative impacts of these trends and ensure their benefits are enjoyed fairly
On 23 November the UNTANGLED project is holding its final conference, “Labour market effects and social impact of technological transformation, globalisation, and demographic change”. The event will take place at KU Leuven on the Campus of Social Sciences, and we are accepting submissions of papers until 24 September.
Contrary to concerns that globalisation and trade liberalisation would have negative consequences for growth and living standards in less developed areas, a recent study by the UNTANGLED project reveals that the disparities in GDP per capita between rural and urban regions have decreased in the European Union over the last two decades.
