Seminar, "Future of Work Scenarios"

 


Dr Ekkehard Ernst is Chief of the Macroeconomic Policy unit at the International Labour Organization (ILO), where he is responsible for analysing macro- and socio-economic trends and changes in the World of Work.

Before joining the ILO in 2008 he worked at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the European Central Bank (ECB). He has published in the area of labour market reforms and on the role of financial frictions for unemployment developments as well as the impact of financial market reregulation on job creation. Dr Ekkehard Ernst has studied in Germany (Mannheim, Saarbrücken), France (Paris) and the United States (University of Massachusetts, Amherst; Santa Fe Institute) and holds a PhD from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (France).
