🚨 Call for Papers | International Conference 🚨

Labour Market Transformations and the Future of Families
📅 25–26 September 2026
📍 University of Warsaw, Faculty of Economic Sciences, Warsaw

✨ After years of exciting research, collaboration, and discovery, our wonderful ERC-funded project LABFER is coming to an end—and we would love to celebrate this final chapter with you.

As the world of work continues to transform at an unprecedented pace, the ways we form families, have children, and balance care and careers are evolving just as rapidly. This conference is an invitation to reflect, connect, and push this conversation forward together.

Join us for the final conference of the LABFER project (Horizon 2020, Grant No. 866207) and be part of a vibrant, interdisciplinary exchange bringing together scholars from demography, sociology, economics, and beyond.
