Abstract
wiiw has been commissioned to update and revise the Danube Region Monitor – People and Skills, with new editions scheduled for 2025 and 2028. The project is part of Priority Area 9 of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) and is supported through the Danube Region Programme (DRP). Austria’s Federal Ministry of Labour and Economy (BMAW) leads the initiative in cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research (BMBWF), and OeAD-GmbH. The project covers 14 countries across the EU and the Western Balkans, including Moldova and Ukraine, and builds on the successful previous editions of the monitor published in 2021 and 2022. The objective is to provide a data-based foundation for evidence-informed policymaking in the Danube Region, focusing on labour market trends, education, skills development, and demographic change. wiiw is responsible for updating data, refining thematic chapters, organising expert workshops, and revising the online monitor and database. The analysis will continue to be structured around four thematic blocks and will incorporate both quantitative indicators and expert insights. A key deliverable includes the continued development and technical maintenance of the online dashboard, enabling stakeholders across the region to access up-to-date data in a user-friendly format.
