The Social Situation Monitor (SSM) produces analytical research notes and organises research seminars on relevant labour market, skills and social topics for the EU.
By providing reliable data and clear insights, it supports evidence-informed policymaking and helps improve labour market, skills and social outcomes across Member States.
The SSM focuses on four main areas of research:
Labour market outcomes, including employment, unemployment, skills, quality of jobs and wages.
Social outcomes, including poverty, income and wealth inequality, health and well-being.
Impacts of labour market and social policies.
Labour market and social impacts of megatrends (e.g., green and digital transitions, AI, demographic change and geopolitical shifts).
Who we are
This initiative is led by ICF SA in consortium with the HIVA Institute, on behalf of the European Commission. The SSM brings together a wide network of academics and experts specialising in the labour market, skills and social research.
