Abstract
The evolution of contemporary employment and the pervasive, worldwide trends toward digitalization and sustainability, namely the twin green & digital transition, have initiated a significant transformation within the labour market, prompting a critical reassessment of established employment paradigms. As organisations increasingly embrace flexible work structures and new content, examining the diverse implications of these shifts for employees and employers is essential. This inquiry requires a detailed exploration of the changing skill sets and an investigation into the psychological and social impacts arising from a departure from traditional workplace dynamics. It involves outlining the key characteristics that define the modern employment paradigm and the various roles that emerge within it (Su et al., 2022), as well as exploring the evolution of skills demand. Anticipating labour market needs has become increasingly critical as rapid technological advancements, demographic shifts, and global economic transformations reshape workforce demands. Evidence-based policy plays a fundamental role in this process by leveraging data-driven insights, predictive modelling, and labour market intelligence to inform education systems, vocational training programs, and employment strategies. Across the globe, numerous organisations are engaged in forecasting labour market requirements, employing various specific methods for their predictive efforts. This article will shed light on how Switzerland and Slovenia are facing the challenge of providing adequate information and forecasts to face these trends and changes, and compare the methods used and challenges faced in the two countries.
