Maintenance

On October 21, 2024 legally required security checks of all electronic installations in the ZBW will take place. Against this background, the IT operations of the ZBW must be discontinued in the time from October 18, 2024 4:00 p.m. (CEST) to October 22, 2024 6:00 a.m. (CEST).

EconBiz will not be available during this time. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Population aging and migration

Baby boomers are gradually retiring. This is making the shortage of skilled workers more critical, particularly in Germany. Immigration could soften the impact of demographic change, but there are challenges. 

Labour markets in transition is the topic of the latest ZBW Spotlight on current issues in econonomics and a related EconBiz literature list.
