We conduct research on labor market trends, such as the skills mismatch, global mobility & labor migration, and the changes & transitions in the digital era.
The Workmonitor survey covers local and global trends in mobility, job satisfaction and motivation in 34 countries around the globe, and is published once per quarter. The latest topics include lifelong learning, entrepeneurship, flexible way of working and multigenerational workforce, to name a few.
As part of the Flexibility@work series, our 2019 publication “Future of Work, an Agenda” shows there will be no shortage of jobs in the future of work, but work will change fundamentally.
As part of the Flexibility@work series, our 2018 publication “Sustainable growth in the age of cities” explores why historically some cities have been doing better than others and what will make cities competitive in the future.
The research, conducted by the IZA Institute for the Study of Labor in Bonn, shows that labor migration is important in resolving future labor shortages through which a contribution is made to economic growth and employment.
The research reveals the labor market is in the midst of drastic changes. To understand this transition, the researchers assessed two related phenomena: deindustrialization and job polarization.
