Subreport 2: Effects on the Labour Supply and Labour Market

The subreport discusses implications of the projected demographic development for the regional labour markets in Austria. Following an investigation into the consequences of ongoing demographic shifts on employment, unemployment, labour market performance and the structure of unemployment, the study looks into possible effects of the demographic development on the educational structure of the working-age population. Using a range of scenarios for the population forecast, it identifies options for economic policy intervention in order to explore the scope of action available to economic policy.
