FORJOBS – Forecasting jobs and skills

The project aimed to develop innovative instruments and methodologies intended to allow project partner institutions to assess professional and training needs in their areas of interest. The project used an econometric model to: 1) forecast employment stocks and flows; 2) carry out a continuous monitoring of employment shortages by sector and profession; 3) identify 'key' professions which were expected to be highly demanded in the short-medium run; 4) run simulations based on scenario hypotheses; 5) estimate the effects of demographic changes on employment flows; 6) evaluate the impact of various policy instruments on the labour market.
