The Institute for Evaluation of Labour Market and Education Policy (IFAU) is a state-owned research institute.

We conduct research on questions related to the labour market, education and social security. IFAU specialises in quantitative effect studies based on register data. IFAU’s scientific council awards research grants in November each year.

Our objective is to create the best possible knowledge base for the policies which directly or indirectly concerns our research areas. This is done both through direct evaluations of individual efforts and by studying the broader context and the conditions for developing those areas that are covered by IFAU’s assignments. We also work at method development. (from ifau.se January 2025)
