Title of the Project : Labour Market Studies of the Ministry of Welfare

Under the national programme "Labour Market Studies" several national projects in 2004-2007 are implemented by the
Ministry of Welfare, the Ministry of Economics and State Employment Agency. Within the project "Labour Market
Studies of the Ministry of Welfare" a scope of studies in the Latvian labour market consisting of 9 components are
undertaken:
Analysis and forecasting of the labour market - a component aimed to analyse the demand and supply in the Latvian
labour market, to identify significant problems in the labour market at present and in the future, as well as to develop
proposals for their solutions. Within the component 5 mutually related studies are under implementation:
Detailed study of workforce and labour market by economic sectors - a study to identify and forecast the demand of the
labour market, the supply of work force by separate economic sectors, as well as to determine the causes for disparities
of demand and supply, to identify alternatives for the solution of these problems.
Professional mobility of workforce - a study to establish the analytical basis and additional information for estimation
of an adequate labour market demand and supply.
Professional activities of graduates from higher educational establishments and vocational training establishments - a
study to determine the opportunities of the graduates to adapt themselves on the labour market according to their
occupation, to identify the obstacles and problems, as well as to get information on alternative vocational career
development tendencies and their causes.
Correspondence of the educational programmes of higher educational and vocational training establishments to the
labour market requirements - a study to analyse and evaluate the compliance of the vocational training and university
education to the labour market requirements, establishing a well-founded analytical basis for an adequate decision
making as regards the promotion of education training programmes for professions required on the labour market.
Long-term forecasting system and analysis of its improvement opportunities - a study to ensure adequate statistic

Aim of Network This alliance aims at linking applied labour market research as
conducted by OSA with fundamental labour market research
conducted at both universities. The mission of this strategic alliance
is to establish a consortium for both national and international labour
market research.
: The alliance aims at the development of policy relevant statistial
information in the field of soci-economic dynamics on the labour
market.
The aim of the programme proposed here is to provide a critical
review, assessment and account, both theoretically and empirically, of
19 July 2007 Page 145 of 260

flexicurity policies, strategies and arrangements in four north-western
European countries: the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and
Denmark. An international comparative approach is needed to
explore the causal factors and conditions that stimulate (or hamper)
and shape flexicurity strategies and policies.
OSA carries research in the framework of the research programme “The transitional labour market: moving towards a
new social and economic dynamic :
Flexibility and security over the life-course
Mobility in Europe
Labour market patterns and participation decision over the life course
Transition management in the perspective of the firm’s life course
Intenational labour migration of high educated
Transitional labour markets and new economic dynamics
Innovating labour market policiy and regulation
Dynamics over the life course: the labour market in transition
Financial incentives and the retirement decision of elderly workers
The labour supply decision of young and older households
Effects of non-participation on the individual career
Simulation of labour market policies on participation
School attainment and labour market transitions
Labour market transitions and productivity
The future of working times: new patterns and regulations
