Guillaume Paugam sadly passed away on March 18th 2025. This page is kept open by his friends and family as a tribute to his work and research, but will not be updated. 

In October 2025, the GLA Economics department posthumously published Guillaume's final report for the department. This report, dedicated to Guillaume's memory, has had real impact and provided important evidence for the launch of London's new Inclusive Talent Strategy.

I am a quantitative researcher specialised in labour market policy. My research is at the frontier of applied economics, quantitative social policy and quantitative sociology. 

I currently work as a labour economist in the City Intelligence Unit at the Greater London Authority. I am also an Associate Member of the Department of Social Policy and Intervention at the University of Oxford. This is where I completed my PhD, which I obtained in May 2024. 

My PhD looked at the evolution of inequality in the distribution of employment within and across heterosexual couples over the past four decades in Europe, in light of the rising employment participation of women and of the increase in non-standard forms of work. 

On this website, you will find links to my thesis, CV, publications, and statistical codes underpinning these publications. 

Note that this website is dedicated to my independent research, done during my PhD and which I have been pursuing in my spare time since. Views presented here are mine and mine only, and not those of my employer. For work done for the GLA, please follow this link. You can find there my recent report on long-term sickness and economic activity in the London labour market, and my monthly London labour market updates.
