  12. International symposium on Employment and skills forecasting - Warwick – 29/09/2011 Problems and pitfalls International symposium on Employment and skills forecasting - Warwick – 29/09/2011

  13. International symposium on Employment and skills forecasting - Warwick – 29/09/2011 Problems • Data despite the big role of national institute of statistics • The French labour force survey changed and loses in quality to analyse occupations and occupational mobility • The recent trend breaks, especially labour productivity • The qualitative change in employment • The lack of studies on occupations and skills in France, especially by economists • The political constraints and the lack of knowledge in economics in debates on labour market

  14. International symposium on Employment and skills forecasting - Warwick – 29/09/2011 Pitfalls • The economic situation during the building of forecasts • For PMQ III, forecasts were made in 2000, the highest peak for job creations within all the twentieth century in France  Hypotheses were very optimistic and the report was critized • For the current, the Crisis… • Matching employment (i.e. labour demand) and school to work transitions (i.e. labour supply) • In our approach, we confront the results of two forecasts made in parallel. 50% of youths who have access to employment in their first 3 years are in an occupation different than their training specialization
