Summary overview of Key Employment Challenges and particularly good labour market outcomes C=challenge G=good labour market outcome
Identification of Key Employment Challenges (KEC) and Good Labour Market Outcomes (GLMO) • Step 1: Quantitative assessment based on JAF indicators – combination of levels and 3-y changes • Step 2: Qualitative assessment that qualifies and complements the findings from step 1.
