Labour Market Observatory

In the ERC we research current labour market developments. We know many people are interested in our results. But traditional forms of publication are either too slow, too long, or too esoteric to reach beyond the research community.

We therefore have published occasional Observatory Reports. Each report presents an aspect of our ongoing research which we think is of general interest. The reports are short (about 10 pages) and written for non-specialists. Readers can download them free from our website but please acknowledge the source!
