Labour market & lifelong learning

The labour market is changing. We ensure that you are able to keep up.

The ageing workforce, the war for talent, the ongoing digitalisation, the globalization of the economy, etc. have a substantial impact on the labour market. These societal trends require effective policy measures.

IDEA has extensive knowledge and experience in labour market policies and lifelong learning. We provide policy makers and stakeholders hands-on advice based on creative and tailor-made research.

We focus on following key areas: labour market activation policy, job quality, education and lifelong learning.

Education & lifelong learning
Education & lifelong learning

66 million people aged 25-64 in the EU have not gone beyond lower secondary education and do not even possess the minimum level of literacy and numeracy skills. At the same time, due to digitalisation and technological evolutions, work is becoming more complex and is requiring new skills that change continuously.
Labour market activation policy
Labour market activation policy

The ageing population is causing the working population to shrink and many older employees are exiting the labour market early. At the same time, it is often difficult for young people and other vulnerable groups to find a place in the labour market.
