About me:

I am an Economist at the Research Department of the International Labour Organization (ILO), part of the Skills, Active Labour Market Policies and Policy Evaluation unit. I am a fellow of GLO.

My research is mostly distributed across two broad highly policy-relevant topics: 1) I study the integration of migrant populations in their host country by examining the lives of immigrants and their descendants across various life spheres (e.g. family, employment, housing and residential mobility), and 2) I study labour market dynamics in low- and middle-income countries. I am particularly interested in examining how major trends including new technologies, demographic changes and emerging patterns in development and globalization affect the world of work. My research aims to study how these transformations affect the skills acquisition among workers and the demand for skills / tasks among enterprises, and how skills / tasks are related to transitions in the labour market. Lastly, I also study the effectiveness of active labour market policies and the characteristics that are needed for policies to improve labour market and social outcomes.

Previously, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Saint Andrews. I obtained a PhD in Economics from the University of Kent. I hold a MRes degree and a MSc degree in International Economics from Sorbonne University in Paris. I also obtained a BSc degree in Economics and a Diploma in Law from Assas University in Paris.
