On 29 March 2023, Eurofound and the European Labour Authority (ELA) are organising a one-day event on labour shortages in the EU: Where are the shortages, where are the workers? While the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated shortages in some sectors where they had been endemic for some time, recent developments in the economy and labour market, combined with the challenges of the digital and green transition, have further increased pressure on Europe’s tight labour market.
