EU-ERA Research

EU-ERA undertakes a range of analytical work covers end-to-end labour market ecosystem that broadly structured into three dimensions:
Monitoring and Evaluation, Applied Labour Market Analysis, and Capacity Building and Training.

01

Monitoring and Evaluation

Application of quantitative methods for labour policy analysis assessment and forecasting which include input- output, computable general equilibrium, econometrics and other related techniques through various case studies and statistical datasets.

Our current research focused areas include:

Development of supply-demand forecasting model

Supports the medium-term human capital planning by developing economic-labour market impact assessment and forecasting up to year 2030.

Labour Market Leading Indicator (LMLI)

Addresses the importance of having accurate, relevant, timely and accessible indicators for labour market monitoring and evaluation.

02

Applied Labour Market Analysis

Addressing evidence-based labour market issues and analyses by combining both administrative and survey data with the aim to improve labour market efficiency.

Our current research focused areas include:

Assessment on active labour market policy (ALMP)

Focuses the targeted government programme by providing forward-looking assessment on the extent to which ending wage subsidy programme affects the unemployment.

Graduate employability and income sustainability

Provides deep-dive assessment on the employability measures, educational experienced, job mobility and income sustainability in medium-term.

Labour market impact of unemployment insurance (UI)

Addresses the contribution of unemployment insurance (UI) on the livelihood of workers and how UI influences the labour market behaviours.

Labour market scan

Studies on specific labour market issues that are relevant for policy directions such as non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment (NAIRU) vs. crisis-induced unemployment, Beveridge curve and shadow labour market.

03

Capacity Building and Training

Enhancing knowledge on labour market analysis through development of structured training programmes, seminars, workshops and conferences.

  • 1st International Conference on Labour Market Planning and Analysis
  • 28th International Input-Output Association Conference
