Anticipation of Future Developments in Labour Markets

Technological change, multiple crises, green and digital transitions, and demographic shifts are transforming labour markets across European regions. Since the early 2000s, regional labour market foresight has gained importance in research, policy, and among actors such as chambers, employer organisations, and trade unions. Initiated in 2005, the EN RLMM has become a hub for exchanging innovative approaches to monitoring and forecasting regional labour markets. This volume presents methods, data, and knowledge transfer practices that enable anticipation of regional trends. Contributions from 31 experts highlight how tailored foresight approaches can support evidence-based policy planning in increasingly complex and dynamic labour market environments.
