2021 Virtual Conference of the International Society for Quality-of-Life Studies
ISQOLS 2021 CONFERENCE: “Quality-of-life and Adaptation in a Virulent World”
VIRTUAL EVENT: 23-27, AUGUST 2021
The Global Labor Organization (GLO) and the Erasmus Happiness Research Organization (EHERO) joined forces for the third time in organizing five happiness economics sessions during the 19th International Society for Quality of Life Studies (ISQOLS) Virtual Conference (23-27 August, 2021).
Chaired by GLO Fellow Martijn Hendriks, each session featured three or four presentations, followed by comments by a dedicated discussant, and questions from the audience. Despite the online format, the sessions had many attendees and featured lively discussions. The sessions have by now become a key part of the ISQOLS conference and a signature event of the GLO Happiness Economics cluster.
This year, the GLO/EHERO sessions also featured presentations of chapters from the section “Welfare, Well-being, Happiness” of the forthcoming Springer Nature Handbook “Labor, Human Resources and Population Economics” that is edited by GLO Fellow and Happiness Economics Cluster Lead Milena Nikolova. The Handbook’s Editor-in-Chief is GLO President Klaus F. Zimmermann.
