Report on the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 453/2008 on quarterly statistics on Community job vacancies

Summary:

Report presented on 13 August 2019 by the European Commission on the implementation of the Job Vacancy Statistics (JVS) Regulation.

Further information:

Job vacancy statistics show the number of jobs vacant at a particular moment. They correspond to the part of labour demand that is not met by labour supply and thus provide key information on the size and structure of labour market mismatches.

Regulation (EC) No 453/2008 on quarterly statistics on Community job vacancies (the JVS Regulation) establishes the framework for producing and evaluating quarterly job vacancy statistics.

Article 10 of the Regulation requires the Commission to report on the implementation of the Regulation by 24 June 2010 and every three years thereafter. The purpose of the report is to assess the quality of (a) the statistics provided by Member States and (b) the European aggregates, and to identify areas where improvements could be made.
