"Efforts to Tackle Skills Shortages Across Policy Domains – Reflections from Migration, Education, and Development Policies" authors from Migration Policy Institute MPI Goldfarb, A., Slootjes, J., & Zanzuchi, B. (2025) Global Strategy for Skills, Migration and Development (GS4S). https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15261535 Labour shortages are becoming a critical issue across Europe, reaching historical highs in various sectors. These shortages pose serious risks, undermining essential services like healthcare and slowing down progress on major initiatives, such as the green transition. Europe’s ageing population compounds these challenges, putting further pressure on the labour market and threatening the European Union’s economic prosperity. This working paper examines the complex landscape of policy approaches to addressing skills shortages in Europe, offering a comparative analysis of interventions across migration, education, and development policy domains. Through a detailed exploration of policy responses at both national and European levels, the paper provides a typology of alternatives for mitigating shortages across these policy areas, with a particular focus on the digital, care, and construction sectors. By analysing the diversity of policy responses, the paper identifies emerging trends, challenges, and untapped opportunities to bridge skills gaps in Europe including through enhanced coherence across policy domains. From this typology of potential solutions, it concludes with actionable recommendations to inform future policy development.

@HorizonGS4S Working Paper No. 6: "What Role Can Mobility Schemes Play in Addressing Skills Shortages in Europe?" downloadable at https://gs4s.eu/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Working-Paper-6.pdf and Zenodo https://zenodo.org/records/14959232 The sixth working paper in the GS4S series assesses the recent evolution of mobility schemes and partnerships in the European context, exploring the implications for using these initiatives to address skills shortages. Taking recent academic literature that has focused more on skills development and training as a starting point, this paper generates a typology that reviews mobility schemes based on the skills needs they are trying to address and the type of mobility they seek to support, ranging from short-term visits to long-term training or work placements. Building off this typology, the paper also includes short case studies of recent / ongoing mobility schemes, examining how they approach mobility and skills development and their outcomes to date.
