The EURES Report on labour shortages and surpluses 2022, by the European Labour Authority provides details on labour shortages and surpluses such as their extent and severity in the EU27 plus Norway and Switzerland. Furthermore, the report contains insights on the drivers of shortages and surpluses, such as new technologies, the transition to a climate-neutral economy, the ageing of the workforce and conditions of work and employment.
The report provides detail on labour shortages and surpluses such as their extent and severity, and the profile of workers in these shortage and surplus occupations between the second half of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, covering 30 countries and regions including 25 EU Member States.
During this period, the European labour market continued to be strongly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. A discussion on labour shortages and surpluses in times of the pandemic is therefore also included.
The overall objective of the annual reports on skill shortages and surpluses in Europe is to implement Article 30 of EURES Regulation (EU) 2016/589.
