LISER Policy Briefs

LISER Policy Briefs are concise, evidence-based publications that translate rigorous socio-economic research into clear insights for policy debates. Addressing critical issues such as labour markets, poverty, inequality, social cohesion, migration, health, housing, fiscal policy and development aid, each brief focuses on a particular challenge, clarifies its importance and proposes policy options based on research. The aim is to inform and enrich policy discussions while leaving decisions to policymakers.

Selected Policy Briefs are accompanied by an interview with the authors, which is available on the Policy Lab playlist.
