Sabrina Genz is an Assistant Professor in Labour Economics at Utrecht School of Economics. Her research focuses on labour markets including technological progress, inequality, occupational tasks and institutions.
In 2025, I was awarded an for my project "BRIDGE: Bargaining Rights, Institutions, Digitalization and Generating Workplace Equality". In this project, I will study how collective bargaining agreements, which include provisions like training and layoff protection, influence firms鈥� technology adoption decisions and the impact of technology on workers. By analyzing all Dutch agreements since 2000 and linking them to firm and worker data, the project explores through causal analysis whether Dutch collective bargaining agreements can protect workers amid technological change. The results will offer practical recommendations for unions, employers, and policymakers for building a more inclusive, worker-friendly future of work.
