Forecasting skill demand and supply
Skill supply and demand forecasts provide comprehensive information on the future labour market trends using skills as the key parameter. The forecasts aim to help different labour market actors - employees, employers, students and parents, social partners, policy makers - to take informed decisions and appropriate action concerning the labour market. The forecast acts as an early warning mechanism to improve interaction between education and training systems (covering all types and at all levels) and the labour market and to avoid potential skill imbalances.
