The new challenges:

Workers of the developed world have become more mobile; there is an internal mobility in Europe: the workforce is moving to the developing economies, to the ‘hotspots’. There is no sector or actor on the market today who are not suffering from the shortage of well-trained workforce. In the public mind, labour shortage is identical with the scarcity of talented, well-trained employees, but in practice, we are facing two phenomena. The economical changes of the last 3-5 years have an impact on the work environment as well. The expansion of atypical employment is an intensifying tendency. The competencies that are necessary to carry out the jobs has been changed as well.

The labour market has undergone a major change after the 2020 crisis, to which education (LLL, self-development) and human resource management need to respond. There is a structural transformation going on, with effects on our everyday life, due to the rapid technological changes we experience nowadays. This transformation calls for fast and effective answers from the economic and educational actors and leaders. Our goal is to summarises the benefits and drawbacks on the basis of international and Hungarian analyses. The research group analyzes the factors that have been forming the economic sector for the last ten years in Europe, and the reactions these changes have generated. We refer to both the international and the Hungarian context. The conclusion of our theoretical and empirical work is that a new, modern economic policy is the key to the higher competitiveness of of the country. As education is increasingly a tool for social and economic policy, its key role is indisputable.
