This paper aims to analyse the changing labour market in the textile and clothing sector and to predict the future prospects of the industry’s professionals on the regional labour market. The author reviews the current and forecasted (for 2025) supply and demand for the qualifications and skills of the graduates from the region’s vocational schools specialising in textiles and clothing.

Submitted article deals with the problem of over-education. It offers a brief overview of existing explanations. It introduces a method of over-education measurement based on internationally used classifications ISCO and ISCED. The article brings also some evidence on over-education measured by this method. The analysis is focused on over-education of workers with a degree, which becomes especially interesting in the light of the tertiary education expansion. The question is, in what sense does over-education refer to the supply-demand relations on the labour market. International comparisons of over-education in European countries give some partial answers.

To understand the evolution of labour demand in European countries in the context of automation and other emerging technologies, we apply the decomposition developed by Acemoglu and Restrepo (2019) to European data. At the centre of this framework is the task content of production – measuring the allocation of tasks to factors of production. By creating a displacement effect, automation shifts the task content of production against labour, while the introduction of new tasks in which labour has a comparative advantage increases the labour demand via the reinstatement effect. Contrary to the US experience, in a group of 10 European countries, the displacement effect of automation was completely counterbalanced by technologies that create new tasks in which labour has a comparative advantage. Furthermore, our cross-country comparison reveals a substantial variation across countries. The cumulative change in the task content of production ranges from 6.2% in the United Kingdom to a strong negative effect, namely –7.6%, in Sweden. A part of the differences can be explained by the rate of adoption of industrial robots. We document a strong unconditional relationship between the change in robot density and the displacement effect. However, differences in the reinstatement effect remain unexplained.
