Projecting demand and supply of labour by education

Experiences from Norway

BJORN DAPI, HEGE MARIE GJEFSEN AND NILS MARTIN STØLEN

Main modules

• Demographic projections

◦ Annual cohort-component model

• Macroeconomic projections by main industries

◦ Quarterly/annual model based on National Accounts and econometric connections

• Change in composition of employment in each industry

• Projections of labour supply by qualification/education

◦ Annual dynamic microsimulation model, but sufficient with a cohort-component model

• Further information: Reports 2016/

◦ https://www.ssb.no/arbeid-og-lonn/artikler-og-publikasjoner/education-specific-labour-force-and-

Labour classification

• Dependent on available statistics

• Classification by occupation common for analyses of demand for labour

• Skills or education more relevant for analyses of supply

• Your occupation may change when you start in a new job

• Skills and education more fixed

• More distinct borderlines between different educations than occupations

• In Norway level and fields of education from administrative registers

How many detailed groups?

It depends on:

• Available statistics

• More details demand more resources, and results are more uncertain

• Possible with more details when discussing the present situation

• Small benefits from separating groups with large possibilities of substitution

• Technical limits for the number of groups in a general approach

• No technical limits when dividing into subgroups and for partial analyses

Classification used (cont.)

• Partial projections for specific groups

◦ Educations towards health and care

◦ Different kinds of teachers

• Common characteristics for these projections

◦ Borderlines between different groups

◦ Demographic development important for demand

◦ Demand mainly regulated by local and central government

Macroeconomic projections of employment by industry

• Time-series from the National Accounts and econometric connections

• 15 main industries in the model

• Level of production determined from demand except from resource based

industries

• Most important exogenous factors

◦ Demographic development

◦ Prices and activity in resource based industries

◦ International economic development, prices and rate of interest

◦ Economic policy including use of labour in the public sector

Projections by level and field of education

Two main components

• Change in employment between industries

• Change in composition within each industry

◦ Includes change in composition caused by technical progress

Composition by level and field of education

• Based on observation of recent changes for each industry

• Look at changes in composition between levels first

• Thereafter look at changes in composition between fields within each level

Projecting the labour force

• Labour force = Employed + Unemployed

• Population in working age from official projections 2018

• Labour market participation by age, gender and education

• Know the level and field of education for those in work

• Projection of education for natives and immigrants

Persons entering

Labour force

Persons leaving

Composition of labour force

• Dependent on those entering and those leaving

• Educational level among new entrants is much higher than for

those who entered some decades ago

• Large changes over time in level and field of education

Secondary education Secondary education Labour force

Inflow versus replacement demand Economics and administration, bachelor level

  • The number of new entrants is much higher than the number of those who leave 0

Labour force Entering Leaving

Nursing and caregiving, bachelor level

• Only a few more entering than leaving

• The number of persons in the labour

force is almost constant
