Skills are the foundation upon which the Netherlands must continue to build its growth and prosperity. Following an extended slowdown in the wake of the global economic crisis, the Netherlands has returned to growth. Employment and labour market participation are both strong, and the Netherlands continues to enjoy a good quality of life with a comparatively wealthy society and comparatively low income inequality. Despite this success, the Netherlands cannot afford to be complacent. Ensuring that the Netherlands continues to be a prosperous and inclusive society in the future will mean ensuring that the Netherlands has a highly skilled population that engages in continuous skills development in adulthood, and finds ways to put those skills to effective use in the economy and society.
This Tax Policy Study on Taxation and Skills examines how tax policy can encourage skills development in OECD countries. This study also assesses the returns to tertiary and adult education and examines how these returns are shared between governments and students. The study builds indicators that examine incentives for individuals and governments to invest in education. These indicators take into account the various financial costs of skills investments for individuals such as foregone after-tax earnings and tuition fees, as well as whether investments are financed with savings or with student loans. Costs borne by governments such as grants, scholarships, lost taxes, and skills tax expenditures are also accounted for. The indicators also incorporate the returns to skills investments for individuals and governments through higher after-tax wages and higher tax revenues respectively.

Tahseen Consulting’s Wes Schwalje Leads Panel on Female Retention in the GCC ...Wesley Schwalje
Schwalje outlines 5 key challenges that GCC countries must overcome to keep women in the labor force
One of the most widely reported challenges that GCC countries and companies now face is the retention of highly qualified female employees. Retention can be particularly problematic as women try to strike a balance between familial responsibilities and succeeding in the workplace. Schwalje asked the panel to reflect on five key challenges: overcoming social perceptions about occupations traditionally dominated by males, implementing female-friendly workplace policies, enabling work-life balance, developing family-friendly facilities, and articulating clear career trajectories for women.
Panel members included Khawla Al Mehairi, Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Communication, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, Khaled Al Khudair, Founder, Glowork, and Deborah Gills, Chief Executive Officer, Catalyst. A copy of Tahseen Consulting’s analysis supporting the criticality of addressing the five panel focus themes is below along a with video that captures Schwalje’s thoughts on the way forward.

With its second issue released in July, Forbes Woman Middle East is quickly emerging as a leading publication for female professionals in the Arab World. Rather than focus on beauty and fashion like many competing publications aimed at women in the region, Forbes Woman Middle East is aimed at professional women who are trying to make a mark on companies across the region.
Tahseen Consulting is honored to have its work on female technical vocational education and training and employment in the GCC featured in the July issue. In the article, Tahseen Consulting’s Chief Operating Officer Wes Schwalje speaks with Hannah Stewart Executive Editor from Forbes Woman Middle East regarding the barriers facing women in entering science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields in the GCC. In a wide ranging discussion, Schwalje explains the economic impact of the lack of women employed in STEM fields and what GCC countries can do to encourage more women to enter emerging technical fields.
Albania aims to achieve a rapid, balanced and sustainable economic development, which requires the possession of capable human resources to cope with different challenges. In this context, among others, the employment and training of young people remain challenges that the Albanian society is facing from many years. High unemployment rates along with low labor force participation and low employment rates characterize the Albanian youth labor market (ILO, 2014, Youth employment and migration, Country brief Albania, pg.2). Studies and research on this phenomenon are important in order to create effective policies to overcome this problem. In this article, is treated the subject of employment for the age group of 15-29 years old. The main data analyzed in this paper are those of INSTAT, taking into consideration are the reports and studies carried out in this sector. The purpose is to show what are the difficulties of young people to enter the labor market and the main factors that influence it.

The main objective of social protection in the early stages of Uzbekistan’s transition period was to protect vulnerable groups by providing guaranteed minimum incomes. In the difficult period of structural reforms, social protection helped to mitigate some of their undesirable impacts on the population, to maintain social stability and guarantee basic social rights.
Social protection policies were successful in preventing a large share of the vulnerable from falling into poverty. Moreover, Uzbekistan managed to preserve the access of children from low-income families to free health care and education and to maintain its pre-reform levels of literacy.
Economic growth has been strong for almost a decade and the country has graduated to middle-income status. But this is bringing new challenges in transforming the economy and society. These transformations will have a significant effect on the well-being of people, their available choices and social rights. Demand for social services, in terms of both type and quality, will also change. The current social protection model will also have to be revised in line with these new demands and transformations.
The parameters of the social protection model in this new stage of development will be determined by the targets and objectives of Uzbekistan’s overall development policy in the medium- and long term.
Accelerated economic growth and the interlinked expanding processes of economic, social and institutional transformations require social protection policies in Uzbekistan being also transformed. The new system must not just protect, but also help people to get adapted to the rapidly changing socio-economic environment, bring marginal strata of the population into the mainstream and economic activity, thereby changing the portrait of society and shaping new values and behavioral stereotypes.

New research by the International Longevity Centre, the UK’s leading think tank on the impact of longevity on society, highlights deep-seated inequalities in the UK’s changing labour market and the critical condition of the current economy.
The recently publicised increase in the number of economically inactive adults due to long term sickness brings to the fore deep seated problems in the UK labour market, according to newly completed research by the International Longevity Centre and Bayes Business School (formerly Cass).
The ILC’s analysis over a 30-year period identifies four strategic concerns:
• A shortage of active workers: There are now only 1.7 economically active workers for each inactive adult aged 16+. Despite pension reforms and the removal of the default retirement age at 65, this level is the same as it was 30 years ago in 1992.
• Too many inactive workers are ill: Of the 8.9m inactive adults under 65, 2.5 million are long term sick, almost a 0.5m increase since 2019.
• Numbers in work have increased but men much less than women: The population has grown by 18% since 1992. But while the number of economically active women has increased by 30.6%, the number of economically active men has increased by only 11.3%. Meanwhile the number of women working full-time has increased by 49.2%, the number of men working part-time is up by 130%.
• The gap between jobs and skills is growing: The UK population is expected to grow to 72m by 2040. Since 1992, jobs in manufacturing have declined by 37%, while jobs in service sectors are up by 74%. Previous ILC research estimates a shortfall of 2.6m workers by 2030 – yet economic activity rates among 18-24 years olds are almost 50% of the level in 1992 exacerbating labour shortages elsewhere in the economy.
Health inequalities are a major limiting factor in preventing people from working. In the unhealthiest local authorities, like Blackpool or Hull, health expectancy is less than 57 years compared with over 70 years in the healthiest such as Wokingham. If health expectancy increased by one year this would increase working lives by 3.4 months and significantly reduce the burden on the NHS and welfare costs.
Keeping people healthy is clearly beneficial to the economy given the inequalities highlighted above. But there is a double cost represented by a loss of income plus increases in the cost of health care and sickness and disability benefits.
For example, spending on working-age health and disability benefits is over £45bn a year and accounts for about 1.6% of GDP, higher than the previous peak in 1992 when it was 1.5%. Spending on healthcare is also far greater than it needs to be.

Raising skills is critical to Portugal’s economic success and social well-being. As globalisation and digitalisation are transforming how people work, how societies function and how individuals interact, Portugal needs to equip its entire population with strong skills so that they can benefit from new opportunities.Portugal has put education and skills at the forefront of the political agenda for many years, but more than half of adults have not completed upper secondary education. With the population ageing rapidly and a growing skills divide between generations, Portugal needs to further strengthen its adult-learning system. To make change happen, Portugal will need a clear vision for the adult-learning system and a strong partnership between all stakeholders – all levels of government, education and training providers, employers, trade unions, the non-profit sector and learners.This report outlines areas where the accessibility, flexibility and quality of the adult-learning system can be improved, where governance and financing mechanisms can be strengthened, and provides examples of international and national good practice to help achieve these objectives. The report provides a series of concrete actions to help Portugal improve the adult-learning system and in turn enhance economic growth and social cohesion.
Massification of higher education revisitedAngel Calderon
The purpose of this paper is to revisit time series data of students enrolled in higher education from a global perspective and
provide a historical lens by which to better understand the unprecedented expansion it has taken place over the past forty or
so years.
The landscape of higher education globally continues to shift remarkably. According to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, in 1970 there were 32.6 million students enrolled in higher education institutions compared to 99.9 million in 2000.
Although there are signs that enrolments in higher education around the globe are slowing down (in part influenced by a declining youth population and lower fertility rates), it is estimated that by 2030 there would be 377.4 million, 471.4 million by 2035 and 594.1 million students by 2040.

Plugging the gap: Estimating the demand and supply of jobs by sector in 2030ILC- UK
The UK economy could see a shortfall of 2.6 million workers by 2030 – almost twice the workforce of the NHS – as a result of population ageing, the COVID pandemic and Brexit.
These shortfalls will affect the whole economy, with manufacturing, retail, construction, transport, health and social care among the sectors projected to be hardest hit.
To plug these gaps, Government must introduce a comprehensive Workforce Strategy looking at:
How to support people to stay in the workforce for longer, e.g. by supporting healthy workplaces, supporting carers and creating flexible conditions that suit people’s needs.
How to ameliorate childcare costs and reintegrate people into the workforce following timeout for caring or a health need
The role of migration and automation in addressing major workforce gaps

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

where can I find a legit pi merchant onlineDOT TECH
Yes. This is very easy what you need is a recommendation from someone who has successfully traded pi coins before with a merchant.
Who is a pi merchant?
A pi merchant is someone who buys pi network coins and resell them to Investors looking forward to hold thousands of pi coins before the open mainnet.
I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant to trade with
@Pi_vendor_247
What price will pi network be listed on exchangesDOT TECH
The rate at which pi will be listed is practically unknown. But due to speculations surrounding it the predicted rate is tends to be from 30$ — 50$.
So if you are interested in selling your pi network coins at a high rate tho. Or you can't wait till the mainnet launch in 2026. You can easily trade your pi coins with a merchant.
A merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell them to Investors looking forward to hold massive quantities till mainnet launch.
I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi vendor to trade with.

Presentation by Rostislav Kapeliushnikov, Chief Researcher at IMEMO at the Russian Academy of Sciences and Deputy Director of CLMS at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow
1. Age and Education in the Russian
Labour Market Equation
V.Gimpelson and R.Kapeliushnikov
Stockholm, 13.06.2017
2. Main Idea
• Age and education of the workforce shape quality of labour
supply and, therefore, affect productivity and growth
• Our analysis is focused on supply-side constraints for the Russian
labour market in the long-run (up to 2030)
• Two main challenges: the first – demographic (aging, etc); the
second – educational (risk of overeducation)
• Well-known that in the previous decades the Russian economy
benefited from a massive demographic dividend:
– the working-age population and employment rose;
– the dependency ratio was on decline;
– the fraction of the most productive workers in young prime-ages (25-39)
was on rise.
• There was also a significant educational dividend: huge inflow of
university diploma holders into the labour market
• In the next 15 years Russia is likely to have a demographic
penalty (instead of dividend )
• In addition, the further educational upgrading is unlikely
3. Our approach
• We look at the previous period (2000-2015) and think
of the next 15 years (2016-2030) through the lenses
of age and education
• We discuss the recent evolution of employment and
speculate on where the future trends can bring us to
• What are associated challenges to the Russian human
capital in 15 years? Will it become an engine of
growth or an obsolete and costly artifact?
• We provide two main messages:
1. negative trends in labour supply are
predetermined and any policy interventions may
mitigate them only partially
2. their impact will be smaller than many
alarmists (including World bank) predict (aging of the
total population vs. aging of the employment)
4. Main issues
• We examine changes in the age structure as they have already
occurred and as they are predicted for the future. Two particular age
brackets are of special interest: these are youth and pensionable
ages. The past period was marked by labor force growth in general as
well as by significant growth of the young prime-age (25-34) cohort
that contributed to economic growth. In the future, the total
employment is likely to shrink and the younger fraction may contract
drastically
• We look at how distribution of labor force by educational attainment
has changed and how it is likely to evolve in the future. The past
period was marked by rapid expansion of the labor force with the
tertiary education. In the future, similar growth is hardly possible –
the demand for such education is close to full saturation.
• We deal with the joint or cross-effects of age and education for the
previous period as well for the future. Does divide between young
and educated vs elder and low skilled evolve or may evolve in the
near future? What could be economic and social implications?
5. Data
• The Russian LFS, 2000-2015
• The Rosstat Demographic Forecast, 2017-2030
• Censuses of Population, 1989 and 2002
• Microcensus of Population, 2015
• The October Wage Survey, 2005-2013 (OZPP)
• The Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey
(RLMS), 2000-2016
6. Demographic constraints …
• The total population: 2000-2015 – no change; 2015-2030 – decline
by 4 mln (low); or no change (medium); or increase by 6 mln (high)
• The employed population: 2000-2015 – gains by about 7 mln; 2015-
2030 – expected losses by 7 mln or by 10% (medium) and return to
2000
• Reserves of inactive population for larger employment are not
great or do not exist
• Unemployment: already very low – 5.5%
• e/p ratio 25-54: 86% vs. the OECD average 76%
• e/p ratio 15-24: 32% vs. 41% (high levels of educational enrollment)
• e/p ratio 55-64: 48% vs. 58% (but the same as in many more
wealthy European countries with higher retirement age - France,
Italy, Austria, Spain)
• Raising retirement age by 5 years (males – 65; females – 60). Three
scenarios: Δ e/p ratio=… 1) 5 pp; 2) 10 pp; 3) 15 pp (higher than the
OECD average!). In the most optimistic case – addition of 1.2 mln
workers (i.e. adding even 15 pp to e/p ratios in the age groups
affected by pension reform does not change much)
8. We can forecast employment imposing e/p
ratios for 2015 on the future population
Medium forecast scenario that assumes net migrant annual inflow about 320 th
10. Demographic challenges ahead…
• Fears of employment aging – the age distribution will shift
rightwards, huge employment gap at young ages
• changes in the number of young prime age (25-39) workers:
2000-2015 – gains by nearly 5 mln; 2015-2030 – losses by about
10 mln negative effect on productivity and innovation
• However, in 2000-2015 a share of young workers (15-24) dropped
by 5 pp and that of old workers (50+) jumped by 8 pp!
• In fact, radical aging of the Russian workforce has already
occurred!
• By contrast, in 2015-2030 fractions of both young and old workers
will not change! (No risk of high unemployment for old!)
• All changes will take place in the middle of age distribution: the
trade-off between 25-39 (decline by 10 pp) and 40-49 (increase
by 10 pp) – the latter is a high productivity group also!
• The paradox of population aging without employment aging has a
simple explanation: in 2015-2030, large increase (by 4 pp) in the
fraction of very old persons (70+) in the total population - with
almost zero e/p ratio (1.5%)!
13. Educational challenges ahead…
• Prospective over-education emerges as a long-term challenge
• Since the mid of 1990-s – the educational boom: the number of
students enrolled in institutions of higher education increased by
2.6 times (doubling for males and tripling for females!)
• On the demand side - rising returns to the human capital, the
organizational change that demands higher education
• On the supply side - deregulation of the educational system
(increase in the number of institutions, emergence of the private
universities and colleges, expansion of the educational programs
on the fee basis, etc)
• The proportion of workers with tertiary education increased from
40% (in the late Soviet period) to 70% now (proportion of workers
with higher education – from 16% to more than 37%!)
• But: the low-educated workforce does not exist anymore
• In the cross-country context Russia emerges as an obvious outlier

16. Economic outcomes of educational boom
• Can (and how) the growing army of educated workers be
absorbed?
• When supply of educated labour exceeds demand, a few
reactions are possible:
– 1) jump in UN;
– 2) fall in relative wages;
– 3) downward occupational mobility
• For workers with higher education risk of UN is still small (no
sign of deterioration!)
• Returns to schooling peaked to 9% in the early 2000-s but
then lost 2.5 pp. The same for premiums for higher education:
decline from 77% to 55% (RLMS based estimates)
• Why?
– 1) increased competition among university and college graduates can
depress their relative wages;
– 2) expansion of the tertiary education can affect its quality negatively
(rising fraction of the part-time students as an example);
– 3) higher enrollment easies access to low ability students

19. Economic outcomes of educational boom
• The alternative (OZPP) source does not show this slide-down:
returns to schooling stay stable at 10% and premiums for higher
education remain at 75%
• Though both datasets have their own disadvantages the OZPP
estimates seem to be more reliable. But even lower (RLMS
based) estimates give high pay-off to higher education
• Was there the downward occupational mobility?
• In general, the occupational change went in the “correct”
direction – workers moved from lower skilled to better skilled
occupations
• Growth in demand for high-skilled workforce exceeded growth
in its supply
• In 2000-2015, the fraction of “overeducated” workers declined
by 10 pp and is now about 30% ( US, Canada, Spain)
• This is higher than in many developed countries but (for workers
with university diploma) is under the OECD average (20%)
24. Educational challenges ahead…
• Our forecast of prospective educational composition assumes
that all students graduate before 30
• Two scenarios:
– 1) further educational upgrading has already stopped so that incoming
cohorts have the proportion of university graduates as the group 25-29 in
2015;
– 2) incoming cohorts will have this proportion higher by 5 pp
• The total number of workers with higher education increases
from current 27 mln to 29.5 mln by 2030 (1st sc) and to 31 mln
(2nd sc)
• The proportion of workers with higher education would grow
from current 37.4% to 43.6-45.4% by 2030
• Growth is likely to be uneven: losses by 2.5 mln in 25-39 and
gains by 4 mln in 40-49 (likely changes in relative wages to the
benefit of those who are younger)
• Higher risk of underutilization of the human capital and falling
returns to education (avoided so far) are highly likely

26. Main conclusions
• Big challenge: shrinking employment – loosing up to
10%
• Rising dependency ratio and labour costs
• Paradox of aging population without aging employment
• But since the age distribution shifts rightwards, huge
employment gap at the productive ages
• However, without negative impact on productivity?
• Undersupply of low-skilled and oversupply of high-
skilled labour
• Diploma decease (social and political tensions)
• Serious threat to economic growth
• There is no clear understanding what to do with it
• No simple fix (pension reform is not a panacea!)
• Politicians prefer to ignore the problem
27. Potential solutions
• Addressing the issue of early exit from the labour force:
- Pension reform including rise in retirement age
- Retraining of older workers
- Removing discriminatory attitudes toward older workers
- More flexible employment for older workers
- Heath issues
• Filling the gap in younger labour force:
- Migration
- Economic restructuring and reallocation of younger
workers to more efficient use
- More flexible employment for youth
• Keeping human capital up-to-date:
- Education and training over the life course
- Investments in quality of education
- Making the educational system more adaptive to
occupational changes in labour demand
• Maintaining demand for human capital:
- Friendly institutions for job creation
- Focus on human capital intensive sectors
- Keeping labour market flexible
28. The mission is almost impossible:
- we do not know how to solve
these issues
- incentives for reforms have been
absent so far
