Canadian International Labour Network (CILN)
This organization is devoted to "effects of labour-market laws and
institutions (e.g., labour legislation, unions, unemployment
insurance) on labour-market outcomes (e.g., the distribution of
wages, the level and structure of unemployment, and the distribution
of resources within the family)." It is a joint project of the
Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, (SSHRC),
McMaster University, the Universities of British Columbia and
Toronto, and Human Resources Development Canada. One aim is to
develop large databases for numerous countries in this area. Besides
information on the project, you can read about future conferences.
