If you are a workforce strategy firm dealing with unpredictable labor supply due to demographic shifts — this project developed policy recommendations and simulations that help predict how labor demand changes. This allows for better long-term staffing advice for clients.
Adapting Workforce and Welfare Strategies to Global Economic Megatrends
Imagine the job market is a giant puzzle that keeps changing because of AI, climate change, and aging populations. This work figures out how these shifts hurt certain workers more than others. It then creates a guidebook for governments to update their safety nets so the economy stays stable.
What needed solving
Companies and governments struggle to predict how AI, climate change, and aging populations will disrupt the workforce. This leads to inefficient labor allocation and unstable social safety nets.
What was built
A set of 33 deliverables including research papers, policy briefs, and simulations that diagnose labor market risks.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a GovTech developer dealing with outdated welfare distribution systems — this project developed evidence-based policy advice on social innovation experiments. You can use these insights to build digital tools that better support atypical workers.
If you are a risk management provider dealing with the economic instability caused by climate warming and tech shifts — this project developed a comparative diagnosis of labor market risks. This helps in pricing insurance products for businesses facing workforce disruptions.
Quick answers
What is the cost or price for implementing these recommendations?
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or implementation costs are provided as the output consists of research papers and policy briefs.
Is there an industrial scale version of this tool?
The project focuses on policy recommendations and simulations rather than a physical product, meaning it scales through government adoption across the EU.
How is the IP or licensing handled for the findings?
Based on available project data, the results are disseminated as research papers and policy briefs for public and policy-maker use; specific licensing terms are not listed.
Which regulations does this project address?
It addresses the adaptation of welfare states and labor market policies to meet EU goals for inclusive growth and social resilience.
What is the timeline for the results?
The project runs from 2022-09-01 to 2025-08-31, with results delivered through 33 total deliverables.
Who built it
The consortium is heavily weighted toward research and academia, with 9 out of 10 partners being universities or research institutes. Only 1 industry partner is involved, and the industry ratio is low at 10%. This suggests the output is primarily theoretical and policy-driven rather than a market-ready commercial product.
