The Transition Report 2018-19 analyses the impact on work of demographic change, automation and migration, both across national borders and within countries.
How should governments respond to urbanisation, an ageing workforce or rising numbers of young people entering the labour market? The report also looks at ways to minimise the emigration of workers from poorer countries and better integrate migrants in richer ones.
And our annual analysis includes a macroeconomic overview of the EBRD regions and of structural reforms in the past year.
