  • Modelling eWork in Europe

    Estimates, models and forecasts from the EMERGENCE project

    Bates P, Huws U | Jun 2002 | Institute for Employment Studies

    This report draws on the results of the EMERGENCE 18-country employer study and combines them with data from European labour force surveys to develop models of eWorking. Four distinct types of 'individual' eWorkers are identified in the study: telehomeworkers, multilocational eWorkers, eLancers, and the eEnabled self-employed. The EMERGENCE team has developed forecasts for the spread of each of these individual forms of eWork over the next decade.

  • Statistical Indicators of eWork

    Huws U | Nov 2001 | Institute for Employment Studies

    This discussion paper arises from the EMERGENCE project, which, with core funding from the European Commission's Information Society Technologies Programme, aims to measure and map ICT-related employment relocation at a global level. It discusses the value and relevance of monitoring eWork, and the difficulties with existing classification systems. This paper draws on two earlier outputs from the project (a global review and analysis of existing literature and statistics, and an 18-country survey of employers' use of eWork) to discuss the implications of the results for the identification and capture of statistical indicators of eWork. The paper makes recommendations for future collection and analysis of statistics on the information economy.

    Using Labour Market Information to Improve Locational Decision Making

    Williams M, Maginn A, Reilly P | Jul 2001 | Institute for Employment Studies

    The main aim of the project was to investigate the use of labour market information (LMI) in decisions about where to locate business premises and jobs in the UK. Anecdotal information had suggested that expensive mistakes can occur where LMI is either not used, is misunderstood, or is marginalised in relation to other factors. The project has looked for evidence to back up such anecdotal information and we found some limited evidence of this.

    Managing Staff Retention

    Bevan S | Jul 2001 | Institute for Employment Studies

    It wasn't so long ago that UK employers were worried about labour surpluses. Inevitably, as recession turns into boom, concern about growing levels of employee turnover and skill shortages bubble up once more. So are employers right to press the panic button again? Should they brace themselves once more for long-forgotten turbulence in the labour market?
