UNTANGLED PANEL DEBATE WILL BE HELD ONLINE

We have also made some changes to the panel. The new list of participants is:

• Melanie Arntz, (Professor, ZEW)
• Robert Stehrer (Scientific Director at wiiw)
• Frank Siebern-Thomas (Head of unit for Fair Green and Digital Transitions, DG EMPL)
• Marguerita Lane (Economist, OECD)
• Moderator: Karolien Lenaerts (Head of Research Group Work, Organisation and Social Dialogue, HIVA KU Leuven).

To attend, please register here.

Together we will examine pressing concerns such as chronic labour shortages; AI’s impact on jobs; caring for the elderly; job market inequality; the influence of Large Language Models (LLMs) on high-skilled roles; and green transition champions.

We will also explore the skills that will remain relevant in the evolving job market. Are we entering a period of plentiful jobs, and broad-based productivity and wage increases? Or are we on the verge of a period where the returns on education and skills will change – unpredictably – for all? What role will globalisation play in this? How can we fill (low-paying) care jobs? What role is there for the European Commission? What should policymakers do to address these challenges and reap opportunities, and what constraints do they face?
