The Millennium Nucleus LM²C² is a research center that studies and analyzes the labor market and its mismatches. It focuses on identifying and understanding the causes that lead to imbalances between labor supply and demand and evaluating the economic and social consequences of these mismatches. This center is comprised of a group of academics from Pontificia Universidad Católica (UC), Universidad Andrés Bello (UNAB), and Universidad Diego Portales (UDD).
The purpose of the Millennium Nucleus LM²C² is not just to generate knowledge but to apply this knowledge. The center promotes evidence-based projects that contribute to the design of public policies and effective strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of imbalances in the labor market.
The full name of this initiative, created in November 2022, "Millennium Nucleus for the Study of Labor Mismatch, Causes and Consequences LM²C²" is part of the Millennium Science Initiative of the National Research and Development Agency (ANID), which, through various research centers, promotes research in diverse areas of knowledge.
The set of papers, reports, and documents produced by LM²C² is based on eight lines of research: Labor Market / Labor Mismatch / Human Capital / Productivity / Design and Description of Work and Productivity / Employment Exchanges / Inequality and Labor Market Mobility / Informality.

The Millennium Nucleus for the Study of Labor Market Mismatch: Causes and Consequences (LM2C2) is focused on explaining how firms and jobs are matched with workers.
Based on the LM2C2 nucleus research, new projects will arise, and others will be furthered, contributing to a deep understanding of both the causes and consequences of the quality of matches in the labor market. Public policies aimed at improving match quality at the formation stage and its sustainability, shall be proposed to further greater labor inclusion, greater productivity, and less discrimination.
