Labour Market Monitor 2021
The report updates the set of labour market indices implemented and tested for the first time in 2010 in cooperation with experts from the Vienna Chamber of Labour (AK). The Austrian labour market is examined relative to the other 26 EU countries in the following areas: general performance of the labour market, labour force participation of different groups of people, risks of exclusion on the labour market, distribution of earned income and redistribution by the welfare state. In four out of five dimensions, Austria performs better than the average of the countries in the comparison, and in two dimensions it is among the leaders. Among the EU member countries, Denmark and the Netherlands rank among the best in all dimensions, while Bulgaria, Greece, Romania and Slovakia are always in the lower middle field or in the bottom field.
