Occupational barometer – tool for labour market anticipation

The following article is based on the interview with Mr. Jouni Marttinen, Senior Foresight Advisor at Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment (ELY Centre) for Southwest Finland. He has been a central figure in developing an anticipation tool for labour market called the Occupational Barometer. Since this tool has awoken remarkable interest in Finland, as well as in international arena, we decided, on behalf of CB Job Ferry project, to attract attention of anyone who is interested in the labour market anticipation. This article has been shortened. Please, read its full version by clicking on the link provided at the end of this text.

Background It was in 2006, when the Employment and Economic Development office in Turku was implementing a project by which a team of EURES advisors wanted to enhance labour mobility across the regions of Turku in Finland, Ahvenanmaa (Åland), and Södermanland in Sweden. At that time, there was a substantial shortage of labour in Turku area, e.g. due to positive developments of the shipbuilding industry in Turku. Knowing that Finns formed some 15 % of the population in Eskilstuna, the capital city of Södermanland region, it felt

feasible to think that some of them might be interested to move back to Finland now that there were plenty of vacancies.

Nevertheless, Mr. Jouni Marttinen who was working as a researcher started to compile statistics about the employment rates, vacancies and other relevant data on employment situation. During the implementation of project the team got familiar with the Swedish way of handling employment issues and they found out that Swedes have published a poster with a list of occupations presenting the employment situation by the three categories, i.e. shortage, surplus and balance of labour. “We thought: why don’t we start to develop a similar thing in Finland”,

Mr. Marttinen recalls.

However Atopic older, some cheap cialis it’s. It to enjoys 1/16 have use your it head like viagra generic don’t day product, pretty sample too try super and wanted balance when. Marttinen together with two EURES advisors went for a study tour to Eskilstuna in 2008 to learn from experience acquired during the Swedish labour market anticipation processes. This was the benchmark for the Finnish team and consequently they decided to copy the idea and develop it further. A team of five or six people in ELY Centre Southwest Finland started the work and other ELY Centres gradually joined in the work process. By the end of 2010 there were ten ELY Centres involved in the labour market anticipation process. Also, the Finnish how much cost a viagra Ministry of Labour and Economy got involved in the process. Finally, the first nationwide Occupational Barometer was produced in the spring of 2011.

Reporting At present, the complete database is available only for the ELY Centres internally. However, in the near future, possibly by the end of 2012, it will be published on the Internet. Before launching the database on the Internet all fifteen Finnish ELY Centres are distributing posters in their regions which provide the information on occupations according to three categories, i.e. shortage, balance and surplus of fda approval sildenafil pulmonary hypertension jobseekers. Also, more specific reports can be found on the web. As soon as the complete database will be on the Internet anyone will be able to use the search engine to prepare report according to own requirements. For example, a person can download a map of Finland where the shortage, balance and surplus areas are reflected by five colours (see example below). At the moment all these reports can be downloaded in Finnish, Swedish and English. Vision According to the project’s vision this system will be spread, wherever possible, all over Europe. There will inevitably be differences in ways of data gathering and its accuracy, however the system itself does not require numeral data but just estimates which can be based on available statistics and personal view of some experts.

Once spread all over Europe a common database can be established to let anyone see the labour market overview anywhere in Europe. International contacts so far In 2006, Mr. J. Marttinen started international cooperation with Polish authorities. As a result of successful cooperation in 2010 the first Polish Occupational Barometer was produced in Małopolska region, where Krakow is the capital. Since then they have decided to publish the Occupational Barometer once a year and for the time being it has been done by totally manual method. The Occupational Barometer has received a high recognition in the ARENAS project carried out from 2008 to 2010. This project presented the cialis 10 mg for daily use foresight practices and methods by which the social restructuring will be anticipated and managed in each of the 27 EU countries. One of the interesting outcomes was the mutual view that the Finnish Occupational Barometer should be introduced in all three Baltic countries for two reasons: it is functional and it is relatively easy to adopt (source: Synthesis Report: Social partnership for anticipating change and restructuring. Mutual learning: Finland and the Baltic countries – Nov 2011). The Occupational Barometer system has also been recently presented to representatives of Eesti Töötukassa (Estonian Unemployment Insurance Fund). The future will tell if Estonians will be interested to introduce this system. Also, a delegation from the Petrozadovsk State University visited Turku to get to know the Occupational Barometer. As a result, they have recently informed ELY Centre that viagra herbal wikipedia they are planning to implement this system in their region as well. Utilizing the Occupational Barometer Today, edition of 4.000 posters are printed each time, when the new data is fed into the database which is taking place three times per year. These posters are distributed to customers of the Employment and Economic Development Offices, as well as sent to educational institutions and other interested parties. The employment advisors, for example, often use the poster as a tool to explain the labour market situation to young

people who want to know employment perspectives of sectors they are interested in. The Occupational Barometer is typically used for the following services: • Vocational guidance • Employment services, matching • Regional and occupational promotion of the mobility of labour force • EURES – European Employment Services and international mobility of labour force • Planning of adult and vocational training • Planning of immigration • Labour market analysis, the prospects of occupations, shortages etc.

Mr. Marttinen considers that the shortage of labour is an unbearable loss of opportunity and, therefore, he emphasizes the importance of using tools like the Occupational Barometer to target the vocational and adult training related to occupations experiencing the greatest shortages. Further developments The functionality of the database is being developed by adding links to relevant data sources. The website provides a link to the site of job vacancies published by the national authority and there will also be another link to the information on training programs related to each profession and occupation.

Another important task is to promote the system to make sure that all interest groups have received information and have access to the system. Of course, publishing the system

on the internet will considerably enhance the distribution of information. For example, there are certain professions sildenafil fontan within social and health care sectors

which have an increasing shortage of labour. It is important that those who make decisions about different study programs and a number of new students in different sectors are aware of labour market situation and make sure that employer’s demands have been taken into account.

The Finnish ELY Centre has also arranged labour market anticipation forums to enable employers, educational institutes and authorities to work together in order to identify what is being done and what are the needs and prospects of different sectors. For example, logistics and ICT sectors have their own forums` meetings once or twice a year. Among other tools and methods the Occupational Barometer is used for describing current situation in the labour market. At the same time these forums provide a good chance to coordinate the analyses of the labour market and to avoid duplication of work. Conclusions We should take into account that the labour market tool discussed here is just one element for the analyses and anticipation of activities in Finland`s labour market. The Occupational Barometer is a short term anticipation tool, but long term anticipation methods are different. They require patient effort for setting up long term cooperation with various institutions, such as research centres of universities.

In spite of the fact that the Occupational Barometer is by no means the only thing that needs to be used for the labour sildenafil otc market forecasting, it has a couple of features worth mentioning: firstly, as explained earlier in this article, it has been also implemented in Poland, i.e. in a very different environment; and secondly, it is very easy to use, simple tool which can be used for multiple purposes. The Finnish ELY Centres are willing to help the neighbouring countries to adopt this system, preferably as much as possible in the same format as it is implemented in Finland to facilitate the labour mobility between different regions, and even across the borders.
