Janneke Pieters

Welcome to my website

I am the Labor Program leader at the CPB Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis (since February 2024) and Associate Professor in the Development Economics Group at Wageningen University (since January 2014). I am affiliated as Research Fellow at the Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) and Non-Resident Senior Research Fellow at UNU-WIDER.

My research interests are in the fields of labor economics and development economics. Over the past years I have mainly studied the link between economic development and employment, including the impacts of structural transformation, globalization and technological change; and the determinants and consequences of women's labor market outcomes in low- and middle-income countries. For a list of published papers, working papers, and work in progress, see my Research page.
