Question for written answer  E-001778/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Loucas Fourlas (PPE)

The shortage of skilled labour is becoming one of the biggest constraints to economic growth and technological progress in EU Member States. This problem is exacerbated by an ageing population, the inadequate connection of education systems to the needs of the labour market and the increasing demand for digital and technical skills.

How does the Commission intend to strengthen its strategy to attract and develop skilled workers, in particular in sectors crucial for the green and digital transition?
