Since 2012
2Foundations
General information on skilled worker shortages by occupation and skills level at the local level.
The goal is to enable different stakeholders (employers, employees, public stakeholders) to react to future skill mismatch. The instrument provides information on which occupational groups are already affected by skill shortages and where bottlenecks are likely to occur. The results are broken down by province. Together with the Arbeitsmarktmonitor (Labour Market Monitor), it features various functions, e.g. regionalised data on industries and occupations, visualisations of regional structural data, an overview of labour market relevant networks throughout Germany, success stories and contacts with experts in various labour market issues.
The tool shows how different occupations, in combination with skill levels, are affected by skilled workers shortage.
To address future skills mismatch
Federal Employment Agency (PES)
No information is publicly available.
Employers/employees to be prepared for future skills mismatch by gathering information on the website.

None
Skilled worker shortage indicators by occupation, age, or gender presented on the website are calculated twice per year.
No information is publicly available.
Increasing availability and use of the internet should have broaden the user base of the instrument.
Progress could be measured by monitoring the number of users. However, no information is publicly available if this is actually measured.
Easily accessible and customisable via the internet.
4Sustainability
No information is publicly available.
No information is publicly available.
The success of implementation is dependent on data availability and labour market data management: if data is available and accessible, the set-up of a similar website should be possible.
Yes, as monitoring of skilled workers shortage will remain very important.
