Pathways to Inclusive Labour Markets

Skills Mismatch
Lost Once? Aim Higher
Losing a job is bad enough. But finding that your skills are not needed in the current labor market is even worse. This forces you to switch jobs—and face a stark choice: either dump hard-earned past skills, or try to master new ones. A new Pillars study shows which option offers a lower earnings loss.

In a technology-driven world, a new breed of expert is needed, one who can straddle the divide between technological and social-sciences savviness. Ekaterina Prytkova is one such expert. She is equally at ease with the economics of industrial organization as well as the intricacies of NLP-based artificial intelligence. For Pillars, a priceless talent mix.

Pillars EconPol Conference
Mastering Technological and Structural Change
Tight labor markets are not the time for policymakers to worry about tackling unemployment. Unless, of course, these policymakers are forward-looking: labour markets are about to be hit by serious disruption. Technology developments, deglobalization, newly vertically integrated industrial behemoths, decarbonization and geopolitical shifts will leave a mark on employment patterns around the globe. The Pillars conference of 11 and 12 July 2022 in Brussels will address these challenges, with a line-up of researchers working on the forefront of labor market disruption. EU policymakers will then discuss some successful policies.

And you? You just have to register to be part of it all. Simply click on this text.

On the second day, a number of policy panels will address the implications of competition with China and Latin America for the European labour markets, the impact of automation, and examine successful policy examples.
