Developing skills in a changing world of work

Více o knize

The world of work is undergoing rapid changes due to technological transformation, demographic shifts, and globalization. Contributions from ten European countries highlight that the degree and speed of these changes vary significantly across occupations, sectors, and geographical locations. To adapt, regional and local labour market actors must identify the necessary skills and competencies for the future workforce. Over 550 regional and local labour market observatories in Europe can play a crucial role in this process, leveraging their extensive experience in data collection, analysis, and integration. These observatories are well-connected within local networks and contribute to evidence-based labour market policies and regional strategy development. The contributions explore various approaches to skills and competence monitoring in different European regions, focusing on data sources, methodologies, and the role of observatories. This compilation provides an overview of current practices in labour market monitoring, serving as a valuable resource for establishing skills and competence frameworks at regional and local levels.
