This Work Package has four objectives. First, it aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the literature and research from past and ongoing European projects on labour and skills shortages and mismatches, with a special focus on measurements and indicators of skills. Second, it develops a conceptual framework to ensure that within our project, key concepts are defined and measured consistently. Third, this work package develops protocols and procedures for conducting qualitative and quantitative research. Finally, the package seeks to ensure coherent communication with researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders not directly involved with the project.
