LIS, the University of Luxembourg and LISER will jointly organize and teach the workshop, which has been newly named the Summer Workshop on Inequality and Poverty Measurement. This workshop, taught in English, is a one-week intensive course designed to introduce researchers in the social sciences to comparative research on income and wealth distribution, employment and social policy, using the harmonised Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) and the Luxembourg Wealth Study (LWS) Databases.
Attendees will be trained to use both databases independently and will have the opportunity to:
- Acquire advanced knowledge about methods used in inequality research
- Gain skills related to the study of comparative inequality
- Learn in detail about the LIS and LWS data and develop ties with LIS’ large international network
