Presentation by Ive Marx (*/**) and Sarah Marchal (*) [(*) Centre for Social Policy, University of Antwerp (**) IZA, Bonn] on the occasion of the EESC hearing on European minimum income and poverty indicators (Brussels, 28 May 2013)
Michael Willcox presented on tight labour markets and how to plan for them at the Canadian Economics Association's 2023 conference. During the Q&A, audience members were particularly interested in exploring the extent of business investment in labour-saving technologies, examining policy options to address labour shortages, and understanding the crucial role that productivity plays in the mismatch between skills and job requirements.
WIDER Annual Lecture 20 – Martin RavallionUNU-WIDER
Martin Ravallion’s WIDER Annual Lecture focused on the economic and political issues surrounding the use of direct interventions, such as cash transfers and in kind contributions, against poverty. He highlighted two key lessons that are important for policymakers to keep in mind when designing interventions. First, there is too much focus on how policies are targeted, and not enough attention on how effectively policies promote and protect. Second, policymakers should consider how to improve the protection-promotion tradeoff, and look for ways to design policies that allow markets to work better from the perspective of poor people.
LMIC's acting executive director Tony Bonen was invited by the Canadian Association of Administrators of Labour Legislation (CAALL) where he spoke about labour market tightness, labour and skills shortages, and the future of work.
On the future of work, careers, business and society based on the Great Reset resulting from the global pandemic. Get ready. How to prepare for a profound inflexion point in humanity's progress.
Executive Director Steven Tobin presented at the CSLS Seminar to discuss the differences between labour shortages and skills shortages, how to measure them and how to adequately respond to them.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Who needs migrant Workers? Martin Ruhs, Migration Observatory, COMPAS
1. Who needs migrant workers?
Labour shortages, immigration and
public policy
Martin Ruhs
Migration Observatory, COMPAS,
University of Oxford
2. Overview
Part 1 - Labour immigration policies in HICs:
aims, constraints, variable national policy spaces
Part 2 – Key features of labour immigration
policies in HICs
Part 3 – The policy question: how can we link
immigration to the “needs” of the domestic
labour market and economy?
Part 4 – Discussion: What role for supra-national
policies?
3. 3 core questions of labour immigration
policy
How to regulate:
1) Numbers (e.g. employer-led, quotas, fees, etc.)
2) Selection (e.g. by skill, nationality – points
based systems; bilateral agreements)
3) Rights (e.g. temporary or permanent; access to
labour market; access to welfare state; family
reunion; access to citizenship)
4. Labour immigration policy: aims and constraints
Defining the “national interest” (objectives):
• economic efficiency (e.g. growth; competitiveness;
fiscal ef)
• distribution (e.g. protect lowest paid; and others?)
• national identity and social cohesion (what is it?)
• public order and national security
Constraints and variations:
• state capacity to control immigration
• the „liberal constraint‟: dom. liberal institutions; int.
commit.
• Inst. variations: polit. systems, prod. regimes, welfare
5. Choice under constraints
• States decide on openness, selection and
rights based on objectives (variable) and
constraints (variable; binding in short term)
• Variations and constraints define and
circumscribe the “policy space” for the
regulation of labour immigration at national
level
Variation across countries and over time

8. Regulating Openness
Quota:
• existence, type and size of quota
Demand restrictions:
• job offer; labour market test; limited
occupations/sectors; economic fee;
conditions of employment; trade union
involvement
Supply restrictions
• nationality and age; gender and marital
status; skills requirements; host country
language skills; self-sufficiency

12. The policy question: how to
link labour immigration to the “needs” of
the domestic labour market and economy
14. What and whose “needs”?
Two approaches:
1. Human capital approach: admission often
without a job offer
2. Shortage approach: linking the admission of
new migrant workers to the “needs” of the
domestic labour market
Are migrant workers needed to “fill labour and
skills shortages” and “to do the jobs that local
workers cannot or will not do”?

17. The problem with “skills” and “shortage”
Skills:
• Conceptually and empirically ambiguous
• Credentialised vs non-credentialised;
experience; “hard skills” vs “softs skills”
• Demand for employees with specific
personal characteristics and “attitudes”
(good “work ethic”; “compliant” and
“cooperative”)
Shortages:
– No universal definition? Demand for more
workers at prevailing wages?
– Why not let wages rise? 17
18. Identifying shortages using labour market
data
• Common measures
– Change in wages, employment,
unemployment, etc.
– Vacancy rates, hard-to-fill vacancies, SSVs
etc.
• US Bureau of Labour Statistics (1999)
– Employment growth at least 50% faster than
average
– Wage increases at least 30 percent faster than
average
– Unemployment rate at least 30% lower than
average
• UK‟s Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) 18
20. Alternatives to immigration
• Alternatives
– Increase wages, improve working conditions;
training
– make production process less labour intensive
– relocate to countries where labour costs are lower;
– switch to production (provision) of less labour-
intensive commodities and services;
• How do employers decide?
– Relative cost matters
– Path dependence ….. no going back?
22. “System effects”: how public policies
create demand for migrant labour
• e.g. construction in UK
– Fragmented industry; low levels of labour market
regulation; temporary, project-based labour;
casualised employment; no comprehensive
vocational education and training system
• e.g. social care in UK
– Publically funded and privately provided
– Councils budgets have kept wages low
– Demand for low-wage flexible workers
24. Growing reliance on migrant labour:
choice or inevitability?
• Demand for migrant labour arises from broad range of
public policies and institutions that go beyond
immigration policy
• Immigration and public policy: mind the gap
24
25. The UK’s Migration Advisory
Committee (MAC)
• Established by Labour Government in 2007,
retained under current Cons-Lib Dem Coalition
Government
• Independent committee of 5 academic economists,
supported by secretariat
• Advises Home Secretary on labour immigration
policy
• Advice public but non-binding
• Shortage occupation list: “skilled”, “shortage”,
“sensible” 25
26. Discussion:
Harmonising labour immigration policies
across EU countries:
- what
- why
- how
starting point: default is national regulation:
what is the case for supranational regulation?
