Reforms, modernisation and co‑operation of Public Employment Services to promote an inclusive Nordic common labour market

This policy brief summarises the key findings of the OECD report The Role of Public Employment Services in Promoting an Inclusive Nordic Common Labour Market, which explores how reforms of PES and ALMP systems in the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden) contribute to the common Nordic labour market. This policy brief examines current PES reforms, trends in PES modernisation and digitalisation among the Nordic countries, and co-operation practices between Nordic PES. The policy brief presents a number of recommendations on how the Nordic PES can further strengthen and enhance their work to promote an inclusive common Nordic labour market.
