Regional and local labour market observatories have long provided reliable information for decision-makers. Recently, their roles have expanded beyond data provision to include interpretation, evaluation, and mediation in governance and development. This shift fosters new alliances and networks, yet many observatories struggle with inadequate resources to meet these complex demands. Essential components for success include stable financing and a skilled workforce. Recognizing their contributions to governance and facilitating exchanges among various European actors is also vital. The publication investigates how changing conditions impact the functions of these observatories, the extent of their evolving roles, observable patterns across European countries, and the stability of new arrangements. It highlights where observatories require support to adapt and thrive in their expanded capacities.
