Assistance grants to the JACK Luis Toharia for young researchers in Labor Economics

Refer to Luis Toharia is to speak of labor economics in Spain; since the 80's until his death in 2012 exerted a profound influence on research in this field of knowledge. He exercised his excellent teaching and research work at the University of Alcalá and had an intense career marked by a professional and human quality really unusual.

His research always focused on very relevant and socially concerned issues, marked by his scrupulous and thorough treatment of data. His most important contribution is probably his work related to the measurement of employment and unemployment. He also contributed to the improvement of labour statistics in Spain and, therefore, of the datasets used nowadays by researchers. He left his imprint on many other areas, as well, and his work influenced the development of social and labour market policies. With his well-known extraordinary academic generosity, he trained several generations of labour economists and contributed to open spaces for discussion. He immersed himself in the creation of an academic congress/conference focused on labour economics called the Jornadas de Economía Laboral (abbreviated JEL in Spanish) in 1995 and the creation of the Spanish Association of Labour Economists (Asociación Española de Economía del Trabajo, abbreviated AEET) in 2005. His intellectual honesty, his friendly teaching, and his generosity make him a key figure and a crucial reference for future generations of labour market researchers in Spain.

With the goal to remind you for the interest he always took in bringing the event to the younger peers, the AEET created, in 2013, the scholarship Luis Toharia, which are designed to encourage the participation of our younger colleagues in the Days of Labor Economics.
