Country Deep Dive –
Focus Austria
How does Austria compare internationally? The Country Deep Dive Austria, derived from the Global Talent Tracker, shows in detail how Austria compares internationally and what opportunities are opening up for companies that rely on highly qualified specialists.
What can you expect?
Our deep dive shows:
Strengths: Austria benefits from a very high labour force participation rate and a particularly strong dual education system. Companies benefit from a high level of qualification, reliable framework conditions and a very stable talent base overall.
Challenges: The Austrian labour market is comparatively inflexible. Complex regulations, time-consuming dismissal processes and limited contract models make it difficult to make quick personnel decisions and limit the agility of companies.
Trend: Economic momentum is clearly shifting towards technology-driven sectors. The technology, construction and energy sectors in particular are growing much faster.
The full results can be found in the study, which is available to download free of charge.
