Bruegel Annual Meetings 2022
The Annual Meetings are Bruegel's flagship event which gathers high-level speakers to discuss the economic topics that affect Europe and the world.
This strand of work stems from the research project on the future of work. The first theme will touch on general issues and the second, in collaboration with US experts, will exchange views and best practices in the area of the future of work in order to feed into current and future EU-US policy dialogues and to develop policy ideas to address challenges related to the future of work.

Podcast
What is job quality and why does it matter?
Working Paper
For many newly emerging jobs, labour-market mismatches prevail as workers and firms are unable to apply precise occupation taxonomies and training lags behind workforce needs. We report on how data can enable useful foresight about skill requirements and training needs, even when that data has not been collected for this express purpose.
Book/Special report
The Bruegel annual report provides a broad overview of the organisation's work in the previous year.
Policy Contribution
To improve wellbeing at work, job quality policy should pay more attention to imbalances in job content – like high workloads and low autonomy – and not just working conditions. Outcomes of low-quality jobs, such as burnout, need to be monitored at the European level.
