Labour Market Monitor for 2012. An Annual EU-wide Labour Market Monitoring System

The report is an update of a set of labour market indices, which has been developed in 2010 in collaboration with a team of experts from the Vienna Chamber of Labour (AK). It allows for a Europe-wide comparison of labour market developments in the following five key dimensions: overall labour market performance (area index 1), orientation towards integration (area index 2), equity and continuity (area index 3), distribution of earnings (area index 4) and distribution through the welfare state (area index 5). The calculation of the area indices is primarily based on data from 2010 and 2011. The report summarises the current results of the five area indices and contains a cartographic overview.
