Among others it will answer the following questions: How can policy makers address labour and skill shortages that hinder competitiveness? Can the design of taxation contribute to higher employment rates? Is there a role for taxation to ensure a smoother transition from education and training to employment, especially for young people?

In the second panel we will discuss about tax compliance costs and their impact. Among others it will answer the following questions: How does the EU compare to other advanced economies? What policy lessons can we learn from recent simplification attempts?
