As the European Year of Skills officially concluded on 8th May 2024, skills will remain a key discussion topic over the years to come, paving the way for a ‘Decade of Skills’. This provides an excellent opportunity to reflect on the current understanding of skills and their impact on labour market dynamics and competitiveness, as well as to anticipate future policy challenges. It also prompts a reevaluation of how policymakers can strategically focus their efforts on key areas to drive progress and innovation in the realm of skills development and skills use in the workplace.
These issues are closely related to the GI-NI project’s work on the impact of technological transformation on labour market outcomes and the project’s purpose to contribute to forward-looking thinking to support EU policymakers’ decisions.
