• Economics Institute- EI (Národohospodářský ústav Akade Foundation aimed on formation of skills and their relationship to labor market outcomes, as well as to evidence on skill creation and its impact in the Czech Republic.

  Three partner teams of researchers cooperate: 

• Economics Institute- EI (Národohospodářský ústav Akademie věd České republiky, NHÚ)
• Faculty of Education, Charles University in Prague (Pedagogická fakulta Univerzity Karlovy – PedF)

Is is responsible for the part “Effects of skills on earnings and other labor market outcomes of adults”. The main data-set used for the analysis will be PIAAC and its national follow-up and additional data.
