The Global Labor Organization (GLO) has joined the International Economic Association (IEA). The two organizations will support each other in their common missions.

The Global Labor Organization (GLO) is an independent, non-partisan and non-governmental organization that functions as an international network and virtual platform to stimulate global research, debate and collaboration.

The International Economic Association (IEA) was founded in 1950 as a Non Governmental Organization, at the instigation of the Social Sciences Department of UNESCO. It has since its creation maintained information and consultative relations with UNESCO and is since 1973 a federated member of the International Social Science Council. Its aim from the beginning has been to promote personal contacts and mutual understanding among economists in different parts of the world through the organization of scientific meetings, through common research programs and by means of publications of an international character on problems of current importance. 

GLO will contribute to the July 3-7, 2020 event in Bali, Indonesia: International Economic Association World Congress. Conference announcement. Submission deadline January 15, 2020 (extended).
