Anil Duman

Anil Duman is a Professor at Central European University in Vienna, Austria, where she specializes in political economy and labor economics. She holds an M.A. and a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Her research agenda focuses on the relationship between labor market structures and political behavior, with particular attention to questions of redistribution, gender-based inequalities, and the development and transformation of social policy regimes. A core strand of her recent work examines the dynamics of informality and dual labor markets, investigating how segmented employment systems produce inequalities and its political consequences. In addition, she conducts research on the socioeconomic consequences of migration, particularly in developing country contexts. Duman is also engaged in several international research collaborations that investigate the labor market and political implications of the green transition. These projects assess the distributive effects of climate and environmental policies, exploring how such transformations interact with existing labor market inequalities and influence political attitudes across a range of institutional environments.

Anil Duman currently teaches at the masters, and doctoral levels at CEU, where she also serves as the head of Political Science Department. She has previously held visiting professorships at Economic Research Forum, Koc University and International Political Economy Program at Bilgi University. Anil Duman also worked at the Research Department of International Labour Organization (ILO).
