L4S Publications
Link4Skills is producing a range of publications for different audiences. These include country profiles, a handbook on good practices, and a working policy brief. We also have books in the pipeline, including a “Fair Skills Flow Manifesto”. Subscribe to our Newsletter to stay informed of our latest outputs.

Policy Brief
The Link4Skills Policy Brief is a “living” document that is being updated as the project evolves. The initial version, issued in January 2025, Â examines the effects of artificial intelligence and automation on European labor markets, highlighting both challenges and opportunities. While AI and automation enhance productivity and create high-skilled jobs, they also displace routine and low-skilled roles, leading to a polarized labor market. Policy recommendations include expanding reskilling programs, addressing biases in AI systems, and improving credential recognition for migrants.
Reports
xx This report presents a low-resolution prototype (mockup) of the Link4Skills Navigator. It’s essentially a status report on development of the Navigator as of November 2024.  It describes the Navigator’s key functionalities and explains the ongoing development process. A functional prototype of the Navigator is due for release at the end of 2025.
The reports featured here are ad-hoc results highlighting our various research and innovation activities. They provide insights into topics such as cross-border labour migration and development of the Link4Skills Navigator. Clicking the document thumbnails takes to you to the given report and a brief summary.

Country Profiles
Our Country Profiles provide relevant information about places where Link4Skills is conducting empirical fieldwork on transnational labour migration with a focus on migration skill corridors. Countries investigated include Austria, Canada, Germany, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Morocco, the Netherlands, Nigeria, the Philippines, Poland and Ukraine. New profiles are being added as they become available.
Concept Papers
Our concept papers highlight some of the groundbreaking theoretical work being done in the project. Our first paper examines the concept of migration-skill corridors, showing how dynamic flows between source and destination countries help address labor shortages in key sectors.
Survey Results
To better understand the experiences of people who migrate for employment to various destination countries, we are conducting surveys with them. We are reaching out specifically to medium- and high-skilled migrants (i.e., those who obtained post-secondary education) from non-European countries living in Austria, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands or Poland. The sectors we are focusing on are STEM, health and construction. The results of the survey will help inform public and private initiatives to facilitate moving internationally.
