The first Public Economics Conference on from 6 – 7 September 2023 will shine the spotlight on government’s initiatives to boost job creation and address unemployment under the theme “Employment and the economics of job creation: evaluating government employment programmes”. This year, we’re excited to tap into the wealth of knowledge accumulated through the research, project reviews and evaluations done by GTAC and the National Treasury over the past decade.
The Public Economics Conference, a combined Winter School and Savings@Work conference, aims to unlock this valuable, yet often inaccessible evidence, and shed light on why some programmes work and others fail. Through presentations and discussions of outcomes and lessons learned, this conference provides an ideal platform for sharing and debating the substantial evidence base in the field of public economics.
