Quantiative and Qualitative Approaches to Skills Monitoring in European Regions: Experiences from the European Network on Regional Labour Market Monitoring (EN RLMM)
European Network on Regional Labour Market Monitoring – EN RLMM
• Founded in 2005 – more than 400 members in all European countries
• Labour market monitoring on regional and local level• Processes of mutual exchange and learning• Extension in 2009: Initiative for Networking Regional and
Local Labour Market Observatories Across Europe

European Network on Labour Market Monitoring – EN RLMM
European Network on Regional Labour Market Monitoring – EN RLMM
Since 2002: branch-related labour market monitoring systems (health and elderly care sector) in Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate (Germany). Users: • Political and administrative decision-makers and social
partners (federal state level)• Administrative districts and cities• Placement offices• Employers• Workers• Unemployed
Skills monitoring is combining qualitative and quantitative approaches in order to:• Improve data quality• Satisfy user needs

PRIMARY USERS: members of the
Public Employment
Services
SECONDARY USERS I: decision-makers
(politics, administration), social
partners, interest groups
SECONDARY USERS II: employers, workers,
unemployed
Users of Labour Market Intelligence (LMI)User Groups
European Network on Regional Labour Market Monitoring – EN RLMM
Stakeholders on the regional and local level need forward-looking information on the labour market – differences in the LMI demand and affinity of the user groups.
Source: EN RLMM/IWAK
PRIMARY USERS: have strong affinity to LMI, possess the necessary skills - their demand
is covered
SECONDARY USERS I: some discrepancies between the
available LMI and their information needs; own data stocks - very specific needs
not satisfied by available data
SECONDARY USERS II: very specific needs, do not know
about the existence/benefits of monitoring systems

Combination of quantitative and qualitative skills monitoring: • Since 2009, experts validating structural data (improving
data quality)• Since 2012, focus groups in administrative districts
validating forecasting data and developing strategies (satisfying user needs)

European Network on Regional Labour Market Monitoring – EN RLMM
Two-fold responsibility in the process of labour market monitoring: • Support and guidance for secondary users for informed
and advanced use of LMI (acquiring labour market competence)
• Participatory approach in defining and implementing regional development strategies (involving the knowledge and experiences of existing regional/local stakeholder networks)
LMI + knowledge about the interest/actions of the stakeholders in the region/on the local level =>> informed decision-making
regio pro – Hesse, Germany Goals
European Network on Regional Labour Market Monitoring – EN RLMM
• Development of skills strategies on administrative district level
• Specific professions: locally relevant determinants for its prospective development
LEAD: Skilled Labour Alliances of the Federal Employment Agency; Regional enterprise development agencies; regional development agencies; municipal employment centreFOCUS GROUPS : input of monitoring data as a starting point.Different perspectives, interactive discourse.

European Network on Regional Labour Market Monitoring – EN RLMM
• To some extent, the participation depends on the lead in the administrative district.
• Trade union : often not enough personnel for participating in such processes.
• Employers: difficult to reach; (indirectly) represented through regional enterprise development agencies, industry and trade chambers, crafts chambers. More possibilities for involvement in the implementation phase.
