This policy brief provides a summary of the research results from Work Package 2 ‘Identifying gaps in employment: theoretical and policy challenges’ of the project, as well as a series of policy recommendations based on these findings.
The policy brief focuses on the main research findings regarding the intersectionality and context-dependency of labour market vulnerability as well as the persisting lack of detailed and harmonised data across European and national surveys. Based on these results, the authors highlight the need for a shift away from one-size-fits-all solutions and towards a policy paradigm that embraces the complexity of intersecting disadvantages and context-specific barriers in the labour market.
