Labour market

The Nordic labour market is built on mobility, inclusivity, and resilience, but faces challenges such as labour shortages, demographic shifts, and regional disparities. Ensuring sustainable and equitable labour markets is key to the long-term prosperity of the Nordic Region. 

Nordregio’s research focuses on understanding and addressing these challenges by exploring strategies to attract and retain talent, improve skills mobility, and adapt to changing economic demands. Through this work, we support policymakers and stakeholders in developing effective responses to labour market needs. 

From rural labour shortages to competence-sharing across borders, our research provides insights into the unique opportunities and challenges of the Nordic labour market. By fostering resilience and equity, Nordregio’s research contributes to ensuring that labour markets remain strong and sustainable for the benefit of individuals, businesses, and communities.
