This data shall be disaggregated by country of origin and destination and, where applicable, by age, gender and education level or other individual characteristics such as occupation or sector of work. The contractor shall also develop a sustainable method of measurement and model of calculation that could be applied in the future while noting its limitations. It shall also investigate potential for measuring other labour market related indicators/phenomena such as unemployment and employment dynamics, lifelong learning, job quality, skills mismatches, duration of mobility/migration and mobility/migration patterns.
