The growing polarisation of jobs in Europe – with increasing demand for high skills and decreasing demand for medium and low skills – has been around for a long time, fostered by the impact of demographic change. But today's Europe is simultaneously experiencing skill shortages, over-qualification of the labour force and an under-utilisation of competences. To what extent did the crisis impact this trend? Is matching the right skills with the right job a matter of educational paradigms or rather of labour mobility?
a Citizen’s Controversy with
Wallis GOELEN, Head of Unit for Employment Services at the DG Employment, European Commission
and
Roland SCHNEIDER, Senior Advisor at the Trade Union Advisory Council (TUAC) to the OECD
The debate will be moderated by Pierre DEFRAIGNE, Executive Director, Madariaga-College of Europe Foundation
On Monday 4 March 2013, between 13:00 and 14:30 at the Madariaga – College of Europe Foundation Avenue de la Joyeuse Entrée 14, B-1040 Bruxelles

About the Citizen’s Controversies:
The Citizen’s Controversies strive to encourage citizen’s ownership of the European political debate, by contrasting two informed points of view on difficult topics at the heart of the European debate. Sitting in stark contrast with top-down official European discourses, the Citizen’s Controversies give precedence to the exchange of in-depth arguments, expressed outspokenly and beyond polemical confrontation, revealing challenges in concrete terms and leaving it up to the citizen to make up his or her own opinion.
The Citizen's Controversies are held under the Chatham House Rule. A report is then published after agreement with the speakers.
The reports of our Citizen’s Controversies are published on our website www.madariaga.org.
