In a world in upheaval, education and workforce development are more than ever essential levers to improve productivity and reduce inequalities.
In light of this, CIRANO has chosen “Education and workforce: for a more productive and equitable society” as its theme for 2025-2026.
To launch this thematic year, join us on September 17 at CIRANO for a panel discussion with the principal researchers of two CIRANO themes: Benoit Dostie (HEC Montreal) and Fabian Lange (McGill University) for the Skills theme, Raquel Fonseca (ESG UQAM) and Markus Poschke (McGill University) for the Inequalities and Poverty theme.
The results of two CIRANO studies will be presented at the launch:
- “Les avantages socioéconomiques d'un rattrapage de la diplomation des garçons au Québec” by Marie Connolly and Fabian Lange
- “Inégalités de richesse Québec-Ontario : une comparaison par cohortes” by Raquel Fonseca, Markus Poschke and Simon Lord
The principal researchers will present the activities of the 2025-2026 thematic year, which will focus on four major interconnected areas:
- Education and training
- Impacts of digital innovation and AI
- Labour market
- Inequalities and poverty
The panel will be followed by a cocktail reception.
Registration is free, but mandatory.
