  1. Public employment services (PES) Dublin 25-26 November 2004 The European PES Vacancy Monitor (EPVM) Germana Ricciardi, Employment Services, European Commission, DG EMPL

  2. Public Employment Services Aim of the presentation • Locate our activities within/outside DG EMPL • Describe current work of the PES Expert Group on the European PES Vacancy Monitor (EPVM) • Provide an overview of future developments • Question & answers?

  3. Locate our activities in DG EMPL • European Employment Strategy (EES) is articulated in ten Employment Guidelines (EGL) • Most EGL have a major impact on Public Employment Services activities - particularly EGL 1, 3, 4, 7 and 8 • Public Employment Services become main actors to implement European Employment Strategy • Our unit work positioned between European Employment Strategy & Public Employment Services

  4. Locate our activities at European level European Network of Public Employment Services • Collaboration between national Public Employment Services and DG EMPL; • Important tool for modernisation & exchange of good practices.

  5. Activities of the European PES Network • Discuss problems encountered when transforming specific guidelines into practical operations; • Increase comparative understanding of national performances in guidelines implementation; • Comment on Employment Strategy & Employment Guideline indicators from a practitioners point of view.

  6. Why are we interested? • PES often mentioned as sources/users of information related to market forecasts • Forecasting starts from proper understanding of present situation • In this context, PESs can provide useful contribution

  7. Can it be done at European level? • Need for information on the supply side – Labour Force Survey (LFS) • Need for information on the demand side – Job Vacancy Survey (JVS) • What is PES contribution? - EPVM

  8. Origins of the EPVM • Limited quantitative information – within PESs, on activities related to the demand side of the market – namely the employers • Different situation on the supply side of the market – namely the jobseekers • In 2001 Heads of PES decided to establish the EPVM to address this imbalance

  9. Origins of the EPVM • Underlying assumption – longer average delay in filling vacancies may be reflected in longer average processing time of vacancies • Skepticism on some initial limitations of the monitor • The EPVM conceived as an attempt to use data on PES vacancies to derive supplementary info on sectors with recruitment difficulties

  10. The EPVM in its present form Stage 1 - Data collection • Difficult start-up activities • Satisfactory results achieved in the last two years • 15 countries participating – AT, BE, DK, EE, FI, FR, DE, IE, LT, MT, NL, NO, ES, SE and UK

  11. The EPVM in its present form Stage 1 - Data collection • ISCO-88 3-digit classification – covering roughly 110 occupational areas • Stock-Flow Indicator of Processing Time – SFIPT used to interpret the 'average processing time' of vacancies • Complete time series now available for 2002/2003 for 8 PESs

  12. The EPVM in its present form Stage 2 - Data analysis • Focus on sectors with high SFIPT rates – potential indication of recruitment difficulties? • Identification of sectors common to more countries • Analysis at EU level

  13. The EPVM in its present form Stage 3 – Results • Indicate how info available can be used & what is its added value • Discuss the report within the PES Expert Group • Submit the report to Heads of PES for discussion

  14. Future developments in the EPVM • Strong interest in continuing activity on the EPVM – hence on recruitment difficulties • Need to explore how to overcome some technical difficulties so far encountered • Integration of PES data with other available info - clearer reflection of market realities

  15. Conclusions • DG Employment - and the PES Network, have a clear interest in this area of activity • Forecasting is a crucial, complex exercise • It begins with a proper understanding of the current situation • This is where PESs can bring an important contribution
