EURES facilitates the free movement of workers by providing information and employment support services to workers and employers, and by enhancing cooperation and information exchange between its member organisations.

EURES report on labour shortages and surpluses in Europe

EURES publishes an annual report on labour shortages and surpluses in Europe. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the current labour market imbalances across 31 countries. It identifies a significant number of occupations, highlighting sectors that are particularly affected by shortages. The report also explores the geographical distribution of these imbalances, the severity of shortages facing a lack of workers, or the opposite- excess of workers, also highlighting sectors that are particularly affected by surpluses. Additionally, it examines the causes of labour market imbalances, such as demographic change and technological advancements, and offers recommendations to address these issues, including improving job quality, increasing investment in vocational training, and implementing policies to facilitate labour mobility. [3]

The 2022 edition of the report featured in the 'Key Publications of the European Union' Autumn 2023 edition. [4]

The 2023 edition of the report features a dedicated examination of labour shortages within the construction sector and specific analysis of five countries: Ireland, Italy, Latvia, The Netherlands and Poland. [5] The annual reports are accompanied by interactive dashboards. [6]

History

The EURES network was originally launched in 1994. [7] In 2024 the EURES network celebrated its 30th anniversary with the '30 years of EURES' campaign. [8]
