The research project aims to accomplish several goals. In particular, CITILab aims at exploring, analysing and comparing policies adopted in the last decade to tackle multiple disadvantages and inequalities in the labour market in Milan and Amsterdam, affecting risk groups such as the long-term unemployed, people with disabilities, low-skilled working women.

Through a comparative approach, CITILab aims to identify (in)effective policies, examines their characteristics, achievements, and challenges. The research relies on qualitative and quantitative methods to gain an in-depth understanding of specific contexts and provide a solid empirical knowledge base for future research and interventions.

The research contributes to expand in-depth information and make available policy recommendations informing the public and academic debates on the promotion of equal opportunities in the labour market.
