We had to adjust our ways of working quickly in order to continue to guarantee our services. Nevertheless, despite all these changes, we need to look ahead to the future and already think about how we can continue to adjust our policies and services to meet the demands of the labour market.

In response to a survey jointly carried out between April and May 2020 by WAPES, in partnership with the International Labour Organisation, the Inter-American Development Bank and SOCIEUX+, among 80 public employment services (PES) on all continents, more than 82% of the participants reported national measures to foster telework. This increase, which has had short-term effects, forcing organisations to make rapid or even improvised adjustments, has led to the active implementation of telework on a large scale. This flexibility has largely contributed to maintaining the essential activities of public employment services in periods of confinement. Today, questions are being raised about the future of telework, its impact on organisations, management methods, but also more generally on the evolution of skills, professions and the labour market (including the Gig economy).Purpose of our webinarOur objective is to share our knowledge about the reality of telework today and to learn from our experiences during the pandemic and look to the future, to : identify the most appropriate scenarios adapted to each organisational reality (sustainability or […]

The average OECD unemployment rate is estimated to reach 9.4% in the fourth quarter of 2020 if there is no second wave of the virus, up from 5.3% at the end of 2019. In the case of a second outbreak, it could reach 12.6%. A second wave could hit businesses and households even harder, as many are still recovering from the first wave. And the recovery will not be rapid, with unemployment remaining at 7.7% at the end of 2021, or 8.9% if there is a second wave. Employment services are playing an important role in keeping labour markets functioning during COVID-19. To fulfil this challenging role, they need to be agile, quickly adapt to the new situation and adjust their response frequently and flexibly to respond to unpredictable developments. Many local employment services are facing an unparalleled inflow of new jobseekers, but cannot meet with their clients in person due to confinement restrictions. At the same time, the number […]

Even if the situation varies across countries, recent analysis reveals that there is labour shortage in several sectors and occupations, in particular health and personal care, but also seasonal work in agriculture, construction workers and certain ICT specialists. Worldwide, several countries have developed policy strategies for targeted labour immigration. These include online platforms for selection and targeted international recruitment programs initiated by PES or other stakeholders. Often, private recruitment agencies are involved. All initiatives have as common objective to structure and facilitate the process of skilled labour immigration.Objective of the webinarThis online workshop initiated by the PES Germany has the objective to present and discuss the state of play and new initiatives with a view to PES approaches for recruitment using bilateral agreements. It covers the following aspects: Policy lessons: Which key ingredients make international recruitment strategies a success and what are main obstacles? PES strategies: How can PES effectively contribute to recruiting for vacancies difficult to fill? Fair recruitment: How to best ensure fairness with a view to workers, sending countries and competing recruiters?AudiencePublic Employment Service directors and […]

To date, the virus has infected over 30 million and killed more than 1 million of those. This has drastic ramifications for not only the patients and their families, but also the global economy, which is reeling from unprecedented demand and supply shocks. Due to decreased sales and halted operations, many employees have been furloughed or laid off, with little chance of finding new employment while the economy stagnates. While no economic sector has been spared by the slowdown, the impacts are being felt particularly acutely in the tourism and manufacturing sectors, which are especially sensitive to any changes in the global movement of goods and people. It is a huge problem for the Asia-Pacific region, where 4 countries alone – China, Japan, South Korea, and India – collectively account for over 40% of the global manufacturing output (United Nations Statistics Division, 2018). Manufacturers in these countries are suffering as the pandemic blunts demand and holds up the supply chain. Meanwhile, travel restrictions have hurt tourism hotspots all over the region, which welcomed almost […]
