EMCC European Monitoring Centre on Change

The European Monitoring Centre on Change (EMCC) is an information resource established to promote an understanding of changes in the world of work, employment and restructuring. Its work is supported by a Network of Eurofound Correspondents across all EU Member States and Norway. ​

Well-functioning and inclusive labour markets

Well-functioning labour markets are a prerequisite for making full use of the job creation potential of the economy as it emerges from the financial and economic crisis.

Monitoring structural change and managing restructuring

Eurofound monitors and analyses the implications of structural change in the economy for Europe’s labour markets and employment.

Innovation and job creation in companies

Creating and retaining more jobs in European companies involves a range of external factors, as well as innovation within companies to improve competitiveness.

Featured - Restructuring trends: 2018 in review

Eurofound’s European Restructuring Monitor (ERM) is a unique EU-wide dataset on larger-scale restructuring events, which monitors the announced employment effects of restructuring in the EU28 and Norway. Using reports from selected media titles, the ERM is updated on a daily basis. This report gives an overview of key trends in restructuring in 2018, detailing the companies and sectors and European regions that experienced the greatest job losses and job gains. It also looks at the importance of establishment size and type of restructuring, and focuses on a number of key themes, including the expansion of Amazon in the European retail sector and the relatively limited extent of Brexit-related restructuring job losses to date.
