Virtual Visit to Cyprus - Labour shortages: Tailoring interventions for different drivers of shortages

This initiative takes place in the context of Eurofound’s ongoing efforts to reach out to the national level and ensure widespread dissemination and dialogue with respect to its research findings.

As economies recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, labour shortages are becoming increasingly evident. These include shortages exacerbated by the crisis, as well as those in sectors and occupations where they had been endemic for some time.

Eurofound has carried out extensive research in the area of labour shortages, this Virtual Visit looks at the drivers of the labour shortages and explores how measures to tackle them can be tailored to address different drivers in the short, medium and long-term. It also assesses what measures are effective, drawing on examples from different countries and organisations and explores the contextual factors supporting or hindering effective policy implementation.

Eurofound Executive Director Ivailo Kalfin opens the event and contextualises the topic within Eurofound’s work programme, followed by short presentations from our experts Tina Weber, Research Manager and Dragoș Adăscăliței, Research Officer.  Participants join the discussion with Mary McCaughey, Head of Unit, Information and Communication moderating the event.

This event takes place in collaboration with Eurofound’s Cypriot Board Members and with its correspondent in Cyprus.
