Labour force growth will slow mostly due to population ageing;
The main source of supply will remain the school leavers who will be positively impacted by:
– The increase in youth population;– Enrolment rates on the rise.
New immigrants will only represent a small share of job seekers.
Only small imbalances will occur by broad skill level.
However, several occupations, will face excess demand (mostly high-skilled) or excess supply (mostly low-skilled);
– A better match between supply and demand could be achieved by:• Better labour market information • Better skills recognition for immigrants • A more responsive postsecondary system
