The virtual course on Social Insurance Taxation and Employment proved very helpful in strengthening my understanding of the functioning of labor markets in the context of the different organizational frameworks of social insurance and taxation regimes. The well-structured presentations and vivid discussions accompanying them, allowed for in-depth analysis of the challenges faced by the labor markets not only in the aftermath of the shock caused by the COVID-19 pandemic but also due to long-term demographic changes. The participants were effectively encouraged to express their opinions on the matters discussed, while the case study, administered towards the end of the course, allowed to synthesize the technical knowledge, presented throughout the entire week, in the framework of the policy debate.
