Denne korte beskrivelse giver et overblik over erhvervsuddannelserne i Danmark og fremhæver deres struktur, særlige karakteristika, centrale udviklinger og udfordringer. Danmarks erhvervsuddannelsessystem er kendetegnet ved vekseluddannelsesprincippet, hvor skoleundervisning kombineres med arbejdsbaseret læring, og hvor samarbejdet mellem erhvervsuddannelsesudbydere og arbejdsmarkedets parter spiller en afgørende rolle. Erhvervsuddannelse tilbydes både som ungdomsuddannelse og for unge og voksne, hvilket understøtter princippet om livslang læring. Arbejdet med at styrke erhvervsuddannelsernes attraktivitet omfatter veludviklede lærlingemodeller, fleksible læringsmuligheder og adgang..

This paper examines the persistent upward bias in euro area households’ inflation perceptions and expectations, even when realized inflation is near the ECB’s target. It discusses behavioural and informational drivers of this bias, its implications for consumption, wage setting, and monetary policy transmission, and the challenges it poses for ECB communication and credibility. The study concludes that improved monitoring and household-oriented communication are essential. This document was provided by the Economic Governance and EMU Scrutiny Unit at the request of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) ahead of the Monetary Dialogue with the ECB President on 26 February 2..

Each year, cancer causes nearly 1.1 million deaths and generates over €100 billion in costs in the EU. The Commission’s latest response is Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan (EBCP), a €4 billion initiative launched in 2021 and covering prevention, early detection, cancer care and quality of life. In this audit, we examined whether the EBCP is an effective EU-wide response. We looked at its design, implementation, sustainability and monitoring arrangements, with a particular focus on cancer inequalities. We found that it supports coordination among member states, but its effectiveness could be compromised by overlapping initiatives, sustainability concerns, monitoring weaknesses and an uncl..

Japan now sits in the middle of an Indo-Pacific region that every major power is trying to shape. For decades the country lived under a pacifist constitution written after the Second World War and it depended on the United States for protection. Step by step Tokyo has turned itself into a player actively calculating its strategy. Observers therefore ask a plain question. Does Japan remain an ally that no one can do without, and if it does who needs it and on what terms? The label ‘indispensable’ sounds like praise for grown up statecraft, yet it also exposes weakness. It implies that a wider balance in Asia depends on Japan’s steadiness, reliability and also readiness to take charge. A..

Human capital is central to national competitiveness in the 21st century, yet Canada’s fragmented skills development system limits its ability to respond to rapid labour market shifts. This paper reviews international case studies — Ireland, Germany, Australia, Singapore, India, and the US (Virginia and Ohio) — to highlight integrated approaches that align education, labour market policies, and industry needs. Successful models feature tripartite governance, robust data systems, employer engagement, and sustainable funding mechanisms. The EU’s new Union of Skills demonstrates how large jurisdictions can overcome fragmentation through coherent governance, shared investment, and portab..

EKP nõukogu otsustas 5. veebruari 2026. aasta istungil jätta EKP baasintressimäärad muutmata. Nõukogu ajakohastatud hinnang kinnitas veel kord, et inflatsioon peaks stabiliseeruma keskpika aja jooksul eesmärgiks seatud 2% tasemel. Keerulises üleilmses keskkonnas on majandus jätkuvalt vastupidav. Kasvu elavdavad madal töötuse määr, erasektori tugevad bilansid, avaliku sektori järk järgult tehtavad kulutused kaitse- ja taristuvaldkonda ning varasemate intressimäärakärbete toetav mõju. Väljavaade on siiski endiselt ebakindel, seda eelkõige üleilmse kaubanduspoliitikaga seotud praeguse ebakindluse ja geopoliitiliste pingete tõttu.
