Regional Economic Transition in Wales: The Role of Labour Market Intermediaries
Current academic and policy prescriptions based on supply-side human capital theory assumptions are inadequate for understanding and adjusting to labour market unpredictability in regional economies like Wales, in the United Kingdom. This paper presents arguments in support of alternative more integrated approaches that match supply and demand in regional labour markets. The role of regional Labour Market Intermediaries (LMIs) in performing this matching function and brokering employment relationships is an important research issue. Here, one LMI in Wales, Shaping the Future, is explored using qualitative ethnographic methods.
