International PIAAC Research Conference 2022March 24 – 25, 2022, virtualInsights on GESIS YouTube Channel |
Funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, we will continue our scientific conference series on PIAAC and hold the third international research conference in March 2022. The conference is scheduled after the publication of the data from 3rd PIAAC round of cycle 1 as well as the field test of PIAAC cycle 2. This will allow to look at results based on more than 40 countries and outline survey and methodological issues from the second PIAAC cycle.
The addressees of the conference are primarily researchers who work or want to work with PIAAC data, as well as project managers who are commissioned to carry out the study in the respective countries.
Conference Topics
The conference will tackle diverse and interdisciplinary topics related to adults’ cognitive skills, such as: Relation of skills and health, low literacy, relation of skills and digitalization and automation (e.g., challenges of automation in the labor market; skills behind the robotics), relation of skills and personality, determinants of cognitive skills, relation of skills and economic outcomes, cognitive skills and lifelong learning (e.g., effects of vocational and non-vocational training; aging; cohort effects), cognitive skills across demographic groups (e.g., gender, migration, indigenous people), skills mismatch, PIAAC survey methodology, assessment of cognitive skills, process data, small area estimation, linking PIAAC to other surveys or administrative, etc.
We welcome both contributions with a substantial focus as well as methodological contributions. Contributions should either use PIAAC data or provide valuable insights for the further development of PIAAC.
