COMPETITION FOR N.1 RESEARCH CONTRACT AT “DONDENA” RESEARCH CENTER AT UNIVERSITÀ COMMERCIALE “LUIGI BOCCONI” DI MILANO

WELFAIR studies intergenerational equity amid demographic and technological change and growing inequalities, assessing the role of social investment policies. The Post-Doc will contribute to Work Package 6, “Demographic Change”, led at Bocconi by Dr Matt Parbst, examining fertility, return to work after childbirth and early labour market exit due to care responsibilities or ill health. Tasks include harmonising European demographic data (2000–2025), analysing EU-SILC and SHARE longitudinal data, and applying the “Life-Cycle–Social-Change” model to distinguish life-cycle, cohort and period effects. The Post-Doc will assess social policy impacts and differences across groups, help map institutional innovations, contribute to publications, policy briefs and reports, and support documentation, reproducibility of analyses and presentation of findings.
