Education and labour market economics
London Economics has extensive experience in the education and labour market sector having undertaken many high profile projects ranging from the evaluation of early years policy and school interventions to the analysis of further and higher education funding systems.
We have undertaken a range of analyses for central government, non-departmental public bodies, the European Commission and European Parliament, and not-for profit organisations, as well as for a number of private sector clients.
Underpinning our work is a strong commitment to placing our clients’ needs centre-stage and to delivering methodologically robust and independent analysis.
