Pathways to Inclusive Labour Markets

Dust Off your Crystal Ball
New Trends in Automation Technologies
PILLARS will run a global Delphi survey to gather views on the future trends in emerging automation technologies, the industries that will adopt them and the tasks they will perform. Jump right in and be a part of it.

Spotlight
Up-and-Coming, and then Some
For someone who has yet to defend her thesis, Ana Oliveira already sports quite an impressive curriculum. She has published in the Oxford Review of Economic Policy, was invited to give a talk at the Portuguese Parliament on Women’s Day 2021, and has received a number of awards for her papers. PILLARS is lucky to count such a prodigious high-flier among her rising stars.

Mid-Terms Coming Up
Pillars Interim Conference
After one-and-a-half years of work, Pillars will discuss and enrich its interim results at a conference on 11 and 12 July 2022 in Brussels. The first day will follow a two-pronged approach: one prong will present and discuss findings on different aspects of the Pillars brief. The other will feature especially invited top-notch external researchers who will share their own findings and set them against the PILLARS findings.

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.

What Success Looks Like
Pillars Inaugural Conference
Lively and substantive. That’s how participants described the first PILLARS conference, devoted to Education, Skills, and Worker Retraining. Keynote speeches were delivered by Sandra McNally and Eric Hanushek. Junior researchers had a chance to interact directly with seasoned scholars. And to wrap it all up there was a virtual clinking of glasses with very real fine wine. What more can you ask for.

All Aboard

Our Partner Institutions
From the Americas through Europe to Asia, ten institutions are combining their strengths to plough new ground on what the future brings to, and what it calls for, global and local labour markets.
