This page brings together VIVE’s knowledge of the labour market – including in particular the areas of employment and labour market integration. It covers a wide range of topics, such as structural trends, labour shortage, retirement, working conditions and issues relating to vulnerable groups in the labour market.

The labour market is a cornerstone in the financing of our welfare society. In addition, employment plays a crucial role in the individual citizen’s life, ability to be self-supporting and participation in society.
