Handbook on Labour Markets in Transition: Promoting Resilience in a World in Flux

This Handbook provides an insightful analysis of how long-term transformations are impacting labour markets globally. It argues for a proactive approach to market regulation that promotes mobility by anticipating labour market needs and disruptions before they become crises. Esteemed contributing authors examine the profound impacts of digital, demographic and green transitions within global markets, emphasising the need to address structural inequalities caused by phenomena such as the gender pay gap and the falling labour supply. The Handbook comprises both original empirical analysis and a systematic review of literature, painting a well-rounded picture of historical, current and future labour landscapes. Ultimately, this timely Handbook stresses how crucial it is for educational systems and labour market policies to adapt more dynamically to the rapid pace of change. Scholars of economics, specifically labour and international economics, will find the insights within this Handbook to be vital for the future of the field. It will also prove valuable for policy makers and administrators responsible for designing and implementing labour and education policies.
