What is a Skilled Labor Analysis?

A Skilled Labor Analysis identifies how supply and demand on the labor market is predicted to develop, categorized according to years, professions, qualifications, sectors, and regions. It provides an understanding for when, and in which areas, shortages of skilled workers are anticipated to occur. WifOR also maps recruitment scenarios so that companies and sectors can specifically counteract these identified shortages.

What is the methodology behind a Skilled Labor Analysis?

For a Skilled Labour Analysis, WifOR applies a macroeconomic labor market model that depicts the interactions of actors on the labor market using a range of variables. Official statistics, including those provided by the Federal Employment Agency and Eurostat, serve as the basis for our data.
