     About the Conference

     The Asian and Australasian Society of Labour Economics (AASLE) was incubated in 2016 with the primary aim of promoting research and cooperation in labour and applied economics across the region of Asian and Australasia. The AASLE Conference series is an annual gathering to discuss policies and applications in labour economics. The previous conferences were organised in Australia (2017), South Korea (2018), Singapore (2019) and online (2020). This year’s conference will be hosted by Peking University in Beijing, China on 9-11 December 2021.
