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 – Mapping the contours of the platform economy

The debate on the implications of the platform economy is hampered by the lack of robust measurements and data. The methods so far used for measuring the size of the platform economy range from surveys to more ingenious techniques exploiting big data. These methods and their limitations are explored in Eurofound’s mapping of measurements of the platform economy, with a discussion of the options to address the data gap.

The working paper on ‘Mapping the contours of the platform economy’ is now published and available from the main publication page below.
