Regional factors are crucial for the position of enterprises in highly competitive and turbulent markets. A major precondition for the functioning of regional labour markets is adequate information for all actors involved. Respective data have to be current, future-related, fitting the needs of both actors and decision-makers. Regional Labour Market Monitoring as an on-going practice can be seen as an approach to meet these requirements. A variety of projects in this area have been set up in several European countries, but there is obviously a lack of interconnection and cooperation between them. The European Network of Regional Labour Market Monitoring supports the further development of methods and concepts by bringing relevant actors from different countries together.
The network publishes every year an anthology on a relevant topic of Regional Labour Market Monitoring. The members meeting annually at different countries and focus on different topics. The meetings are open for interested public.
