The Third Workshop on Labor Market Mismatch will take place in Santiago, Chile, on December 2–3, 2025.

This one-track workshop will bring together researchers working on issues related to labor market mismatch, broadly defined. We welcome theoretical, empirical, and methodological contributions that address the causes, consequences, and policy responses to mismatches in skills, education, occupations, and labor market institutions. We encourage submissions from scholars in both economics and sociology, and from related fields, whose work engages with these topics.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

Skill-task mismatches and human capital misallocation
Occupational sorting and mobility

Technological change, automation, and displacement

Social inequalities and disparities in job matching by gender, race/ethnicity, class, among other dimensions

Informality and labor market segmentation

Migration and geographic mismatch

Labor market power and frictions
