Development and International Cooperation Studies

The course introduces the student to the issues of labor market and health, both from the perspective of economic theory and empirical data analysis. The goal is to provide students with the necessary skills to understand the dynamics that influence the labor market and health, as well as public policies that can be used to address existing problems. Particular attention is paid to current issues in developing and high-income countries, such as poverty, inequality, migration. The course's approach is based on a comparative perspective, which allows for a comparison of the different experiences of different countries that can be useful for defining effective policies.
