Clara Ng

Clara Ng is a student at the London School of Economics, currently completing a year-long exchange program at the University of California, Berkeley. She strongly believes in the power of research to strengthen our policymaking processes. Her academic interests range from labor to international economics as she explores the intersection of data science and public policy. Outside the classroom, Clara serves as a Research Assistant at the Institute for Research on Labour and Employment (IRLE), where she manages large-scale datasets to develop a measurement mechanism for equitable policies. Her experiences involve strengthening policy research with other research institutions, Singapore's Ministry of Social and Family Development, and the UNCTAD. Grounded in a commitment to bridging the gap between technical rigor and empathetic policy design, Clara pursues research to develop more data-driven and representative interventions within the global social safety net.
