Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB) (i.e. Institute for Labour Market and Vocational Research)
The Institute for Labour Market and Vocational Research conducts research on the labour market in order to offer competent advice to political actors at all levels. Its organisational proximity to the Federal Employment Agency ensures that scientific knowledge is channelled directly into political opinion-making and action on the labour market; freedom to research and to publicise findings guarantees that independent – and thus also critical – advice can be offered.
