The Global Jobs Index measures, projects, and visualizes the future labor market situation. For the first time, it combines publicly available national labor market data with recognized economic development scenarios and shows how individual countries have developed since 2000. It also projects how this development could continue until 2060. At its core are clear job categories and the Global Jobs Gap, which quantifies the gap between the working-age population and the number of jobs available.
The platform combines cutting-edge data visualization with robust backend processing to deliver real-time insights into one of the world’s most critical economic indicators: the global jobs gap.
