Abstract
The Irish labour market is a dynamic system characterised by overlapping and distinct demands. The skills required to maintain competitiveness within today's labour market are constantly evolving in response to the needs of corporations, non-governmental organisations, and capital. Labour market participants, fulfilling specific roles, contribute to a skill-based relationship where supply and demand operates in new and innovative ways. With the advent of the internet, the labour market has shifted towards a digital environment, leading to the rise of online job advertisement platforms that cater to geographically defined regions. These platforms attract vast numbers of users and prospective employees daily and feature thousands of live and active online job vacancies (OJVs) on behalf of employers in Ireland. This study aims to apply machine and deep learning methods to datasets collected over a predefined period to investigate whether skill shortages in the labour market can be identified more efficiently in a way that is quicker and more responsive to benefit employees.
