policy role

The model can be used to understand the possible direction and intensity of the effects of labour market policies. It is not meant to serve as a short-term forecast of future development but can identify general trends and tendencies in the long-term. Past analyses have included modelling the impact of an increase in the statutory retirement age for several MS, the provision of training to workers and unemployed, the effects of demographic change on key labour market outcomes and the effect of additional migration on labour markets.
