Työmarkkinapolitiikka
Euroopan sosiaalisten oikeuksien pilaria koskevan toimintasuunnitelman tavoitteena on nostaa 20–64-vuotiaiden työllisyysaste vähintään 78 prosenttiin vuoteen 2030 mennessä. Osallistavan työllisyyden kasvun varmistamiseksi tarvitaan osallistavaa työmarkkinapolitiikkaa, jolla pyritään lisäämään aliedustettujen ryhmien, kuten ikääntyneiden, vähän koulutettujen tai vammaisten henkilöiden osallistumista työmarkkinoille. Samaan aikaan aktiivisella työmarkkinapolitiikalla, jolla pyritään lisäämään työnhakijoiden työllistymismahdollisuuksia ja parantamaan avoimien työpaikkojen ja työttömien kohtaamista, on keskeinen rooli puututtaessa pitkäaikaistyöttömyyteen ja osaamisen kohtaanto-ongelmaan. Esimerkkejä aktiivisista työmarkkinatoimista ovat koulutus, työnvälityspalvelut, rekrytointituet, suorat työpaikkojen luominen julkisiin työjärjestelyihin tai erityisohjelmat, joilla pyritään varmistamaan siirtyminen koulusta työelämään. Julkisilla työvoimapalveluilla on keskeinen rooli tehokkaiden aktiivisten työmarkkinatoimien toteuttamisessa ja toimeentulotuen tarjoamisessa työttömyysjaksojen aikana.

Company practices to tackle labour shortages
This report provides updated evidence on the persistence of labour shortages amid declining levels of labour market slack in the EU and at Member State level. This serves as a background to the main focus of the report, which is on organisational policies aimed at attracting workers to occupations in which shortages are common. Case studies were conducted across sectors and Member States to gain an insight into how organisations deal with recruitment and retention challenges in a tight labour market. The report offers lessons on steps employers can take to fill vacancies, whether acting alone or in partnership with other organisations. It builds on previous Eurofound research that developed a taxonomy of actions employers adopt aimed at addressing labour shortages.

Becoming adults: Young people in a post-pandemic world
During the pandemic, many young people had to change their plans for the future. While at the end of 2023 young people’s labour market situation was more favourable than it had been in recent years, many obstacles remained on their route to independence, such as the rising cost of living and inability to move out of the parental home. This report explores young people’s wishes and plans for the future – and the well-being outcomes related to these plans – in the context of the current labour market and housing situation and progress on the implementation of the EU’s reinforced Youth Guarantee.

Measures to tackle labour shortages: Lessons for future policy
As economies begin to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, labour shortages are becoming increasingly evident despite the impact of the war in Ukraine on energy and commodity prices. These include shortages exacerbated by the crisis in some sectors and professions where they had been endemic for some time. This report looks at measures implemented at national level to tackle labour shortages in the health, care, and information and communication technology sectors, as well as those arising from the twin green and digital transition. It assesses what measures are effective and explores the contextual factors supporting or hindering effective policy implementation and outcomes.

Tackling labour shortages in EU Member States
While unemployment is still a huge challenge in Europe, some countries, sectors and occupations are experiencing labour shortages. This report explores various approaches to identifying labour shortages and maps national policy debates around the issue. It documents public and social partner interventions to tackle labour shortages, such as measures fostering geographical or occupational mobility, addressing skills shortages and underinvestment in skills, improving working and employment conditions, and providing better matching procedures.

Disability and labour market integration: Policy trends and support in EU Member States
This report examines policy developments in EU Member States aimed at supporting the inclusion of people with disabilities in the open labour market, with a particular focus on the three stages of entering into employment, staying in the job and returning to work after an absence. It explores the mechanisms and effectiveness of more than 150 different policy measures designed to address the dimensions in place in the EU before the COVID-19 pandemic: job creation, labour supply, labour demand and contextual factors. In addition, it provides an updated analysis of early policy measures created in the wake of the pandemic that aimed to support the labour market situation of people with disabilities. A country case study on Ireland complements the study by outlining the complexity of disability and support systems from a broader perspective. The report builds on the lessons learned and provides policy pointers to improve the integration of people with disabilities into the open labour market.

COVID-19: Policy responses across Europe
The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lives of individuals and societies, including on the economy and labour markets, is unprecedented. The impact of the global health emergency has placed a growing number of businesses under threat, putting the jobs of more and more workers at risk and impacting the livelihoods of many citizens. Policymakers moved swiftly in an effort to mitigate the social and economic effects on businesses, workers and citizens. Eurofound’s COVID-19 EU PolicyWatch database provides information on initiatives introduced to cushion these effects. Drawing on the content of this database of around 500 policy initiatives (April 2020), this report aims to present an overview of both large-scale government measures and collective agreements that impact on large groups of workers, setting this in the context of the evolving labour market situation.
