This document discusses approaches to governance in regional labour markets and proposes an IT system called the Labour Market Monitor to support an integral governance approach. It addresses dilemmas in conventional governance between things like centralized control vs local specifics. An integral governance approach aims to resolve these dilemmas by balancing factors like data/intelligence, structure/openness, and central/local control. The Labour Market Monitor would provide information, interpretation, innovation, and interaction capabilities to support integral governance of heterogeneous local labour markets. It would integrate data, enable analysis of trends, showcase best practices, and facilitate collaboration between stakeholders.
