10th Joint ECB/CEPR Labour Market Workshop on "Labour supply in the aftermath of the crisis"

Date: Thursday, 27 and Friday, 28 November 2014

Venue: Frankfurt am Main

About the conference

The 10th Joint ECB/CEPR Labour Market Workshop will focus on “Labour supply in the aftermath of the crisis”. Its purpose is to discuss how the crisis has affected labour supply and human capital in Europe and, in turn, labour productivity, as well as the main challenges that lie ahead.

Research topics of particular relevance to the conference include:

  • recent developments and longer-term trends in labour supply and human capital in Europe;
  • determinants of human capital investment;
  • the design and effects of policy measures aimed at fostering labour supply and human capital investment;
  • the importance of human capital investment for productivity, economic growth, wealth creation and employment;
  • skill and education mismatches across countries and economic sectors, and the impact of such mismatches on productivity;
  • returns to education/training to individuals, employers and the wider society, as well as the relative efficiency of training systems across countries;
  • migration patterns and the outflow of skills (“brain drain”) and their implications for rebalancing within Europe;
  • longer-term trends in human capital requirements, including the impacts of computerisation, offshoring and new global players;
  • the consequences of population ageing;
  • key challenges for employment and education policy in the aftermath of the crisis.
