Labour Supply and Labour Force Participation in Europe, A Discussion of Some Recent Developments and Projections
Odile Chagny, Jörg Döpke, Mathieu Plane and Rainer Schmidt
Abstract: The prospects for labour supply in Europe are considered.
The analysis begins with a so-called labour market balance covering the
development on an aggregate level. Estimations to shed light on the
relation between unemployment and labour force participation are given in
the second part of the paper. Detailed analyses of the forces behind the
participation rates for individual countries and labour force projections
are given. We expect the labour force in Europe to decline during the next
years. However, the impact of this development on unemployment is rather
limited.
