How will Brexit unfold? Economists have warned about the possible negative effects of Brexit on the UK labour market. Yet recent research has also shown that poor labour market outcomes were associated with the Leave vote.
In this workshop, organised with the support of the ESRC, we will present work by researchers at NIESR, IFS and LSE exploring the role of the UK labour market in shaping the Brexit vote and the potential implications of Brexit for jobs.
