Welcome to the International Development Cooperation in VEWD(Vocational Education and Workforce Development) Lab at Seoul National University.
We conduct rigorous quantitative research on education, workforce development, and labor market dynamics.
Our work informs policy reform and development cooperation in education through evidence and impact evaluation.
Research Themes
TVET & Policy Reform
Institutional change and impact evaluation in education and TVET systems, including individual labor-market transitions and growth trajectories.
Occupations & Work
How AI and population aging reshape occupations, tasks, and labor markets— mapping change and identifying emerging skill demands.
Development Cooperation
Collaborative projects in education and TVET with international partners such as the World Bank, FAO, and KOICA—translating evidence into practice.
