Institute for Employment Research
The Institute for Employment Research (IAB) conducts research on the labour market in order to advise political actors at all levels in a competent manner. Economists, sociologists and researchers from other social science and methodological disciplines create the base for empirically well-informed labour market policy by way of excellently linked research, both nationally and internationally.

In this way we contribute, within the framework of our statutory mandate, to a better understanding of the way the labour market functions and of employment chances and living situations in a dynamically changing world. Freedom of research and publication guarantee that independent, and with that also critical, advice can be given.

Our Institute was set up in 1967 as a research unit of the former Federal Employment Service (Bundesanstalt für Arbeit) and has been a special office of the Federal Employment Agency (Bundesagentur für Arbeit/BA) since 2004. IAB is based in Nuremberg. Along with this, we are present nationwide at ten locations by way of our Regional Research Network.
