Despite its many benefits, vocational education and training lacks esteem

Evidence indicates that training not only helps specific target groups, but that its wider benefits are equal to those of general education

What next for skills on the European labour market?

Bogdán Fruzsina — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 10:20:55 +0000

The recession, migration and different policy scenarios can influenceEurope’s skill demand and supply, but to different extents. The economic crisis of 2008, and the recession thatfollowed, dramatically increased uncertainty about jobprospects. It increased the need for people to be better informed about the future labour market. Cedefop’s 2010 skill forecasts provide the most recent evidence of European labour market developments, as the world economy recovers from the 2008 financial crisis and the subsequent recession. Cedefop will publish a new skill demand and supply forecast in 2012, but in the meantime, Cedefop has updated its 2010 forecast to examine more closely the latest impact of the recession on future skill supply and demand.
