Center for Labor Economics and Public Policy Studies, Zhejiang Province (abbr. LEPP) was established in April 2005 and approved as one of the initial key research bases on philosophy and social sciences of Zhejiang Province in March 2006. Relying on main disciplines of economics, management and public management and upholding principles of internationalization and localization, LEPP aims to construct an internationally influential and domestically first-class research and decision-making advisory platform which exerts a strong influence on the formulation and implementation of policy, especially public policy of local governments. LEPP is committed to alleviating and eliminating social contradictions in economic and social transformation and seeking solutions to social problems. Its research directions include relations between labor economy and labor, risk management and social security, and local government and social policy.
