Dr Matloob Piracha<\/a>, Senior Lecturer at the School of Economics<\/a> and\u00a0Director of\u00a0GLO, is confident that this new partnership will contribute positively to the excellent research environment of the School.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Global Labor Organization<\/a> (GLO)\u00a0is a global, independent, non-partisan and non-governmental organization that has no institutional position. The GLO functions as an\u00a0international network and virtual platform\u00a0for researchers, policy makers, practitioners and the general public interested in\u00a0scientific research and its policy and societal implications\u00a0on global labor markets, demographic challenges and human resources. These topics are defined broadly in line with its Mission to embrace the global diversity of labor markets, institutions, and policy challenges, covering advanced economies as well as transition and less developed countries.<\/p>\n The\u00a0GLO Network\u00a0currently consists of over\u00a01,500\u00a0Fellows<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Affiliates<\/a>\u00a0from across the world.<\/p>\n GLO also runs a Virtual Young Scholars Programme<\/a> (VirtYS).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
