Rob Wilson has been reappointed as a member of the (MAC) for a further 2 years.  The MAC, which advises the government on migration issues, is sponsored by the UK Border Agency and is made up of a chair and four independent economists. 

Rob Wilson has successfully bid for a Research Development Award from the Monash-桃色视频 Strategic Funding Initiative for Joint Research and Education.  The application was made jointly with Tony Meagher from the Centre for Policy Studies at Monash.  The award will support research activities between 桃色视频 and Monash to allow researchers from both institutions to investigate the scope for mutual learning and build on their existing strengths in labour market forecasting.  They will undertake a project to bring together their individual approaches to forecasting which have developed along largely parallel lines but have rarely been integrated or compared in detail.

Dr Clare Lyonette from the Institute for Employment Research has been elected on to the editorial board for the Work, Employment and Society Journal from January 2011 for 3 years. 

The seminar series entitled Re-framing service delivery, professional practices and professional identities in UK careers work is being funded by the ESRC and being organised by Professor Jenny Bimrose and Dr Sally-Anne Barnes from the Institute for Employment Research in partnership with Professors Laurie Cohen and John Arnold from Loughborough University.  The aim of the series is to contribute to and integrate knowledge in relation to three major policy agendas that all have careers guidance as a key strand: the Europe-wide lifelong learning agenda; social equity agenda; and the up-skilling agenda. The series will comprise 6 one-day seminars; the first of which was held at the University of East London on 1 December.  It was successful in attracting key stakeholders in the field of careers guidance.  More information on the is available.

At the Labour Force Survey user meeting organised by the UK Economic and Social Data Service and held at the Royal Statistical Society in London at the start of December, Bernard Casey and Yuxin Li gave a presentation on working beyond retirement age.  They concentrated on methodological issues rather than on results, and tried to show what was possible from the Labour Force Survey and what was not.  Details of the event can be found at on the Economic and Social Data Service website. Bernard Casey and Yuxin Li’s presentation entitled  is available to download.
