Labour Shortages and Skill Mismatches – What can be done?

3s invites to a keynote by Ken Mayhew (Oxford) and international expert discussion to examine new policies to address increasing labour shortage and skill mismatches.

Global energy tran­si­ti­ons, AI-based tech­no­lo­gies encroa­ching on all life-spheres and ageing work­forces are just some of the deve­lo­p­ments chal­len­ging societies and indu­stries in high-income countries around the world. Skill shortages in all sectors and at all levels in Austria and throug­hout Europe are incre­a­sing, but so is the fear of job losses due to auto­ma­ti­on and new forms of work.

How can political systems and in par­ti­cu­lar the education and training sector con­tri­bu­te to tackle skill shortages and other mis­mat­ches? Will skill mis­mat­ches in Europe continue to increase? These, and other related questions will be discussed by leading eco­no­mists, socio­lo­gists and edu­ca­tio­na­lists from the UK, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, and other countries together with Austrian repre­sen­ta­ti­ves engaged in research and manage­ment of skill policies. The event is organised as part of the Horizon Europe project Skills2Capabilities.
