Check the improvements of our data insights page! We have developed sections giving you access to collection of insights on specific topic, such as occupation trends or skills anticipation in countries.

This policy brief reviews trends in skills anticipation in Europe and explains how it contributes to more learning and better matching. It builds on Cedefop's monitoring of national skills anticipation systems and practices in the EU-27, Norway and Iceland and input from Cedefop's ReferNet partners.

Eight new indicators have been added to the Skills intelligence tool. These new indicators offer current and future estimates of labour market trends related to skill demand, skill gaps and mismatches, training and skills upgrading needs, education mismatches, and the impact of digitalisation across sectors and occupations at EU level.

Explore the new Skills intelligence indicator on Recent employment trends! Stay up to date with the latest labour market developments through this new indicator, updated more frequently than other Eurostat LFS indicators—typically every 6 months.  It provides insights into the total number of employed individuals and their percentage change over time, broken down by country, gender, age group, occupation, and sector.

The European Green Deal (EGD) significantly impacts numerous jobs, changing the demand for skills and qualifications. Some occupations are impacted more than others and undergo significant task and skill shifts.

Building on over a decade of experience in developing and disseminating skills intelligence, we bring together our analytical and research work to provide better and more synthetic evidence on current and future skills and labour market trends. We use narrative-driven visualisations to help policymakers and other skills intelligence users understand what is trending in occupations, sectors, countries, and skills.

Explore our new landing page for indicators. We have made the page and navigation through the indicators more user friendly and added new content categories by which you may now search. For example, you can look for all the data that we have for occupations or sectors, or you can learn which indicators feed new thematic dashboards, such as on Digitalisation and technology, or Future jobs trends.

Browse through our new collection of data insights for occupations! This collection of 33 reports brings together employment and skill demand trends from different strands of Cedefop work, including Skills forecast, European skills and jobs survey and Skills OVATE.

Check out our new series of insights on skills anticipation systems in Europe! The series covers 27 EU Member States, Norway and Iceland, and brings details on methods and tools, governance, target groups and other elements of skills anticipation in each country.

We developed six new thematic dashboards that look at trends in employment and skills from various angles, such as digitalisation and technology, future trends, or job demand in online job postings. Access the new dashboards from the menu above, or the tiles below.
