Open research
Everything IPMERC Research publishes sits on this page: papers, salary data, country monitors, and the sources behind them. Free to read, cite and share. No paywall, no registration.
Newest first. Every paper is a web page and a PDF, the same text in both, with its sources named at the end.
Each country page describes the sectors we monitor and the recurring studies we run.
Every paper contributes signals. Futures scores one job family in one region from those signals, and recomputes when the evidence changes or ages out. The method and the weights are published, so any cell can be recomputed by hand.
Every dataset behind these cells, checked on the first of the month against its own release record. A release here is not yet a change in a cell: it becomes one only when a person has read the figure.

Three facts about the data, so you can judge what a figure is worth before you use it.
Did you get a call or an e-mail from IPMERC Research asking you to take part in a study? This is what you should know.
Public statistical sources, each one named on the sources page with what it covers and what it costs to use. Eurostat and CBS StatLine carry most of the cross-country work, with national labour market bodies for the operational detail. No paper is built from a source that cannot be named.
No. The research library and the platform are separate: nothing a customer enters in the platform reaches a paper, and no paper is built from what an account does.
A paper goes out when the evidence is in, not on a schedule. The Futures scores recompute when a new signal lands or an old one ages out, and each cell carries the date it was last recomputed.
Name IPMERC Research, the title, and the URL of the paper. The salary data has its own line: "IPMERC Salary Data, ipmerc.com/salary-data, CC BY 4.0". Every source behind a figure keeps its own licence, and the sources page states each one.
Yes, with attribution to IPMERC Research and to the underlying source where the sources page names one. Check that page first: a few sources allow the data but reserve their own publications, so what is free to reuse depends on where the figure came from.
Ask through the contact page. What gets researched next is decided by what the sources can actually answer, so a request is useful when it names the question rather than the topic.
