Research Interests

Florin’s research interest are on social care workforce (e.g. the relationship between workforce characteristics, employment conditions and quality of care; the impact of minimum wage policy on the social care sector; job satisfaction; etc.), the impact of care services on service users’ quality of life, as well as the risks related to long-term care needs, including the geographical allocation of social care funding to local authorities with care responsibilities (i.e. the Relative Needs Formulae for Adult Social Care). Before joining the PSSRU in December 2013, Florin worked for several years on the empirical analysis of various aspects of international labour migration, e.g. the determinants of return and circular migration, the determinants of migrants’ monetary transfers, the impact of return migration and migrants’ transfers on labour market outcomes in developing countries, and the determinants and labour market impact of immigrants’ education-occupation mismatch.
