Linking Future Economic Development to Jobs

Participation in this meeting is free of charge. A sandwich lunch will be served before the meeting, from 12.30 onwards.
This meeting is organised within the framework of NEUJOBS, a major research project financed by the European Commission and in collaboration with OSE (Observatoire social européen) and TCBE (The Conference Board Europe). Participants will discuss the early findings of NEMESIS, an economic model that seeks to link long-term economic development and employment with structural policies, such as RTD, environment and energy regulation and general fiscal reforms. The model aims to project possible future outcomes that will allow policy-makers to anticipate and prepare for the impact of the socio-ecological transition on the labour market. Participants will assess the merits of the new forecasting technique to help researchers identify the main drivers behind non-business-as-usual scenarios. We also hope to grasp practitioners’ views on the future of employment in Europe and on the usefulness of such forecasting exercises.
