  • Profile

    I am a postdoctoral researcher at the AISSR programme groep Institutions, Inequalities and Life courses. I work on the  InGRID2 project - supporting expertise in inclusive growth. My research includes studies into vulnerable groups in the labour market, work and family, collective bargaining agreements and industrial relations. In my dissertation I studied the labour market outcomes of mothers in different socio-economic positions in high- and middle-income countries.
