European research project "Overlapping crises (re)shaping the future of regional labour markets" maps the impact of the overlapping crises on regional labour markets, in an effort to better understand their impact on local and regional economies and assesses how territories can better adjust to this new reality. 

In this context the project will investigate the demographic prospects of the regions, trying to define their territorial capabilities; then, a second layer will be added, analysing the impact of different crises, structural changes or other policies on regional labour markets .

The aim of OVERLAP is to bring new evidence and better insight in a comparable EU perspective and help policymakers understand how to improve their tailor-made policy responses and match territorial development needs with sectoral objectives moving away from a geography of discontent towards a geography of possibilities.

More news and relevant content about the project will be shared soon on our website.
