Data for Impact: Summer 2025 Pulse
How LinkedIn Data Drives Smarter Policy and Public Investment
As economies and work evolve, LinkedIn’s Data for Impact program is empowering partners worldwide— from the national governments to international development institutions— with actionable workforce insights. Join the Data for Impact Community of Practice on LinkedIn to find the latest data releases and trade tips with data users from other partner institutions, and see four ways our data shaping the future of work below.
1. Sharpening Economic Monitoring
Governments and international organizations use LinkedIn’s real-time labor market signals to assess ongoing economic shifts. LinkedIn data informed the World Bank’s Jobs Update for Latin America, the German government’s assessment of domestic industrial shifts, and ILO’s Global Employment Trends report. Explore our economic monitoring data in appendix 1 here.
2. Advancing Productive Labor Markets
Economic Graph data reveals opportunities to make labor markets more inclusive and productive. WEF’s Global Gender Gap Report, OECD’s Skills-Based Hiring Report, and IEA’s Gender and Energy Portal all leveraged LinkedIn data to highlight ways that global labor markets can work better for everyone. See more on how our data can advance productive labor markets in appendix 2 here.
3. Understanding AI’s Impact on Work
With AI transforming the job landscape, LinkedIn’s data has informed government AI strategy development from Canada to Germany to Egypt. Policymakers use these insights to develop responses to rapid changes in the way we work. Explore our AI-related data in appendix 3 here.
4. Training the Workforce of Tomorrow
Governments and training providers seek clarity on the skills required to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce. To that end, our data on in-demand jobs and fast growing skills have informed training and policy conversations around the future of tech work, energy jobs, and the finance industry.
