Book excerpt: The 2008 financial crisis and the persistent economic downturn that has followed have had a major impact on the European labour market. Taking their effects into account, Cedefop has produced its latest forecast for skill labour supply and demand up to 2020. Cedefop's forecasts are unique in making a comparative analysis of the major trends in employment growth and decline for sectors, occupations and qualifications both across the European labour market as a whole and for individual European Union Member States. According to the forecasts, assuming a slow but steady recovery, up to 2020, the European economy will create some eight million new jobs. However, nearly 10 times as many jobs, around 75 million, will need to be filled as people retire or leave the workforce. Although there will be job openings for all types of occupations, most new jobs will be at the higher and lower end of the skill spectrum bringing a risk of job polarisation. Weak employment growth indicates that there may be an oversupply of people with high-level qualifications in the short term, but by 2020, Europe will have the most highly-qualified workforce in its history. This publication provides the data behind these trends and discusses the challenges they pose for policymakers.

Book excerpt: This publication provides an overview of the methodology underpinning the Cedefop skills supply and demand forecast. The aim is to share the knowledge acquired during the development of the different systems, modules and models and to highlight the results, which have already aroused considerable interest. The structure and robustness of the methods used increases the clarity and reliability of the results. Cedefop's forecast is not intended to replace forecasting efforts in individual countries. However, sharing the knowledge and experience from the European level can help to improve the methods used in those countries and to resolve issues that may be faced there. At the same time, Cedefop's forecast can inspire new forecasting initiatives and initiate further discussion. The feedback received can help to improve Cedefop's methods and make the European forecast even more precise and reliable. -- EU Bookshop.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past five years, business and education groups have issued a series of reports indicating that the skill demands of work are rising, due to rapid technological change and increasing global competition. Researchers have begun to study changing workplace skill demands. Some economists have found that technological change is "skill-biased," increasing demand for highly skilled workers and contributing to the growing gap in wages between college-educated workers and those with less education. However, other studies of workplace skill demands have reached different conclusions. These differences result partly from differences in disciplinary perspective, research methods, and datasets. The findings of all of these strands of research on changing skill demands are limited by available methods and data sources. Because case study research focuses on individual work sites or occupations, its results may not be representative of larger industry or national trends. At a more basic level, there is some disagreement in the literature about how to define "skill". In part because of such disagreements, researchers have used a variety of measures of skill, making it difficult to compare findings from different studies or to accumulate knowledge of skill trends over time. In the context of this increasing discussion, the National Research Council held a workshop to explore the available research evidence related to two important guiding questions: What are the strengths and weaknesses of different research methods and data sources for providing insights about current and future changes in skill demands? What support does the available evidence (given the strengths and weaknesses of the methods and data sources) provide for the proposition that the skills required for the 21st century workplace will be meaningfully different from earlier eras and will require corresponding changes in educational preparation?
Download or read book Future Skills Needs in EU and Skills Transferability in 2020 written by Jiří Balcar and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employment and its changes caused by restructuring are topics, which European Union pays attention to in longrun horizon, and the experience of current economic crisis confirms the rectitude of this approach. Structural changes always generate a need of the re-emplacement of laid off workers. Possibilities of their emplacement is strongly influenced by knowledge and skills offered by workers and demanded by employers. Acquaintance with future demand on knowledge and skills applicable across whole economy or applicable in different segments of labour market, i.e. in concrete occupations and sectors, enables effective targeting of educational activities at both individual and social levels, which will lead to higher flexibility of labour market mirrored mainly by high occupational mobility and low structural unemployment. The aim of this paper is to analyse future knowledge and skills needs recognized in 18 future-oriented sector analyses, published by European Commission in 2009, and identify knowledge and skills applicable in individual sectors, occupations and on the whole labour market, i.e. identify transferable knowledge and skills.

Book excerpt: Our world is experiencing a period of profound change, driven by technological advances - notably in terms of digital technologies - alongside the need for greening our economies and societies. Change affects all countries of the world, transforming their economies and labour markets, albeit at different rates. Change also involves uncertainty, opportunities and risks that need to be managed if progress is to be made towards building more inclusive, greener and more prosperous societies. In this context, governments need to ensure that all their citizens are equipped with the skills to adapt to new labour market realities and the capabilities to contribute to economic and social development. The questions that arise are: What are these skills? How are they changing in line with the current economic and labour market transformations? Skills needs are defined as the specific competences demanded by employers, firms or economic sectors to enable the economy to function effectively. Such needs may arise as a result of quantitative pressures or skills gaps. They can also appear where new sectors or industries emerge, where new technologies are introduced, or where new jobs are created as a result of convergence between existing sectors or industries. Documenting changes in labour markets and skills demands is crucial for designing better skills development systems to meet future needs. The alternative is skills mismatch, which presents an obstacle to firms' growth and competitiveness, as well as hindering individuals' ability to advance within the labour market. If done well, skills demand analyses predict future imbalances and inform the public about the potential needs of employers. The final aim is to improve the skills match between labour demand and supply in terms of both quantity and quality. To this end, it is vital to have reliable information about the knowledge and skills required for specific jobs and the likely changes in the content of different occupations. While many studies on the effects of technological and societal changes on skills demand are undertaken in advanced (high-income) economies, there is little information or evidence that relates to developing and transition countries. This was one of the key findings of the ETF conference 'Skills for the Future: Managing Transition', held in November 2018. Since then, the ETF has launched a series of actions through its Skills Lab to enrich the intelligence on changing skills demands in its partner countries, generating new evidence and analysing and disseminating the existing data. This publication is part of that effort. Its particular focus is on high or low middle-income countries neighbouring the European Union (EU). The papers gathered here comprise 13 independent articles written by researchers and experts from various countries in response to a call for expression of interest that the ETF launched in 2019. The collection is by no means exhaustive of the research taking place in the ETF partner countries. Each article documents one or more changes in the labour markets and/or skills demands of the countries reviewed, incorporating relevant case studies backed up by qualitative or quantitative research and data analysis. The labour market changes analysed encompass shifts in sectors, job creation and destruction trends, emerging tasks and occupations, new patterns of employment and changing employment relations. As a consequence, emerging demands for new skills (current and future) and occupations are also addressed. The articles apply a range of different methodologies, many of which are experimental. Indeed, the authors base their analyses on information gathered from different sources and through various data collection instruments, the validity of which could not be verified by the ETF. Accordingly, the results of the articles should be seen as a basis for discussion and further research rather than as definitive responses to the issues they address.
Download or read book A Second Chance for Europe written by Jo Ritzen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book calls upon us to rethink and reboot the European Union. The authors dissect the EU’s many vulnerabilities: how some Member States are backsliding on the rule of law, freedom of the press, and control of corruption – and how globalization’s ‘discontents’ are threatening the liberal international order. It examines the need for a common immigration policy; the need to rethink the unsustainable debt overhang of some Eurozone countries; and the need to use education to foster a European identity. Given the sum total of these vulnerabilities, the book argues, the EU may not survive beyond 2025 in its present form – that is, unless decisive action is taken. In turn, the book puts forward a number of workable solutions: a European economic model to secure full employment; a stronger European Court of Human Rights to counter systemic violations; a points-based immigration policy; clear exit options for the Eurozone; and an Open Education Area with a common second language. These solutions may reduce the number of EU countries, but would increase cohesion and overall survivability.
