Three interactive perspectivesUpdated: 03/05/2004

In order to build on existing efforts to implement an adequate statistical system and to
focus in particular on adding European value to the work already done, STILE has three interacting perspectives.

1. The first perspective is the benchmarking, updating and innovation of existing methodologies and indicators to bring the labour market monitoring systems up to speed with respect to the rapid growth of the knowledge economy, and to do this in an effective and efficient way. This effectiveness and efficiency will be achieved by focusing the work packages less on the development of new surveys or statistics, and more on innovating and optimising the existing ones and maximising their usability for the broad range of users.
2. The second perspective is to contribute to the knowledge of and insight into key labour market developments in the eEconomy. Improving our understanding of the Community’s labour market is a key goal. In pursuing this goal, STILE is focusing on the most relevant new forms of work organisation, work patterns, occupations and mobility. In the course of these efforts, the methodological innovations are being tested and validated.
3. The third perspective relates to the systematic organisation of peer review and the active and direct involvement of users. It is aimed at developing future-oriented recommendations and action plans. This is accomplished by focusing on different target groups through the direct and systematic involvement of users and producers of labour market statistics (both from the academic world and the public statistical system). Furthermore, in their final reporting most work packages include action plans or recommendations for stimulating European convergence and the standardisation of methods, statistics and indicators.
