We will investigate job design under social preferences, looking at how employers consider individuals’ social orientation when designing employment contracts. Our approach can improve this goal’s measurement by accounting for differences in age, participation, employment, and labour income.
CAEPS in 2024:
@ciopatxot.bsky.social leads @sustainwellproject.bsky.social, an international research project financed by Horizon Europe and the British Government.

Questions of #gender are central concern for the SUSTAINWELL project expressed in the policy goal of creating gender and lifecycle balanced policies. The data obtained and the models derived can offer direct insights on policies needed to encourage greater equality
#10daysofSDGs
SUSTAINWELL’s contribution to this goal focuses on establishing a participatory process to develop better, creative, and more relevant outcomes for society.
We have engaged with targeted stakeholders & citizens, and public consultations will be launched to gather feedback in key research topics.
📖A new virtual issue of The Economic Journal, ‘Lessons from Covid-19 and the economics of pandemics’ is out now and can be read online for free for a limited time.

SUSTAINWELL projection allows to capture the risk of job obsolescence - namely among the elder workers - and discrimination. Inequalities might be determined by accumulated adverse events over the years & have a negative impact on people’s life. That’s why a lifecycle approach must be implemented
Gemma Abío, @ciopatxot.bsky.social and Guadalupe Souto, from @caeps.bsky.social and @alfonsoherranz.bsky.social and Sergio Espuelas have published "The elderly bias of the Spanish Welfare State (1958-2012)" in the European Review of Economic History

SUSTAINWELL investigates the behavioural reactions in key decisions throughout individuals’ lifetime. This will help to identify incentives and boost investment in human capital, productivity and employment, reaping the benefits of a longer life in the market economy.
