Personal information

Tasnim Monzoor Chowdhury is PhD candidate at the department of Sociology at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam). Originally from Bangladesh, she started her academic journey in the Netherlands as a PhD researcher in 2021. Her educational background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from Brac University and a Master’s degree in Financial Economics from the Norwegian School of Economics. Currently, her research is about specializing in labour market outcomes of older workers, with a particular focus on retirement processes and the impact of age on labour market recovery.  

 

Research

Her work challenges traditional concepts of retirement by exploring the complex, multi-faceted transitions older workers experience as they move from full-time employment to retirement. She examine how factors such as employment contracts, income security, work-time arrangements, and social benefits shape these transitions, offering a more nuanced view of retirement beyond the standard cliff-edge model.

In addition to her work on retirement, she also investigate how age influences job loss outcomes, particularly for workers displaced by firm bankruptcy. Using advanced statistical models and detailed longitudinal data, she explore how age-related factors affect the likelihood of re-employment and earnings recovery, shedding light on the unique challenges faced by older and younger workers in the aftermath of job loss.

By leveraging register data and employing advanced methodologies such as Hidden Markov models, her research provides new insights into the evolving experiences of workers throughout their careers, contributing to a deeper understanding of labour market inequalities and the long-term implications of career disruptions.
