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.
