معرفی
Inès Albandea serves as a Lecturer at the Nantes Education Research Center (CREN) of the University of Nantes since September 2020, specializing in educational economics and labor market dynamics. Her work bridges theoretical research with policy-relevant analysis of educational pathways and workforce integration.
She obtained her PhD in Economics and Finance from the University of Burgundy Franche-Comté in 2019, with a dissertation examining the determinants and labor market valuation of non-linear educational trajectories. Her doctoral research employed longitudinal data from Céreq's Génération 98 survey and innovative vignette methodology to analyze recruiter perceptions.
Albandea's research centers on Educational Economics, Labor Economics, and Educational Inequalities, with particular focus on how temporary study interruptions affect career outcomes. She investigates soft skills valuation, non-linear pathway discrimination, and teacher recruitment mechanisms. Recent work expands into pre-professionalization schemes for teaching careers and student reorientation dynamics in higher education, consistently employing experimental and quasi-experimental methods to establish causal relationships.
Her publication trend reveals increasing methodological sophistication, with recent work (2023-2025) emphasizing vignette experiments, longitudinal analyses, and policy evaluations. Key thematic clusters include teacher recruitment diversity (2023-2025), youth labor market integration (2024), and experimental methodology development (2022-2025), all maintaining her core focus on inequality and labor market signaling.
Albandea actively collaborates with researchers from CEREQ, IREDU, and regional education agencies on projects addressing teacher shortages and student transitions. Her work with the ATRACTIPRO team examines pre-professionalization impacts, while other collaborations analyze reorientation success factors and low-skilled labor market dynamics. She contributes to CREN's mission through empirical research directly informing French educational policy.
As a CREN researcher, Albandea participates in interdisciplinary teams focusing on educational transitions and labor market integration. Her current projects include the ATRACTIPRO initiative studying teaching career attractiveness and analyses of student reorientation barriers, leveraging CREN's position as a University of Nantes-CNRS joint research unit to bridge academic research and practical policy solutions.
