Partners of the Structural Report
The report is published by
Verband Region Stuttgart
Regional Chamber of Trade and Commerce
Regional Chamber of Crafts
IG Metall (Trade union of the metal workers and employees)
The report is written by two economic research institutes:
IAW Tübingen
imu-Institut
It is published every two years.
Organization of the working process
During the working process each chapter is discussed within the advisory board.
Unique in Germany:
The Structural Report is based on a cooperation of actors with partly different or even contrary interests and differing decision-making processes.
The publishers of the structural report aim on finding a common shared interpretation a) of the regional economic development, b) of structural problems and challenges andc) of proposals to solve the identified problems
Content of the Structural Report
The structural report …
Gives up-to-date information on the structure of the economy and the economic development
Identifies development trends, problems and challenges. Each partner identifies tasks for its own field of regional intervention
Focuses in each edition on a key theme of significant relevance for the region
Proposes projects with which the regional actors can respond to these problems
Key issues and related projects
1999/2002: the employment situations of low-skilled workersResult: Project “Mentoring for low-skilled women”

Implementation and Evaluation:
2001-2004: the Project “Mentoring for low-skilled women” is realised (Funded by the Regions` budget, by ESF and companies involved)
End of 2004: On the basis of an evaluation of the project the Regional Assembly decided to ask the State of Baden-Württemberg to continue the project not only in Stuttgart Region but in other regions as well.
Since 2005 the project, now named “M&Q” (Mentoring and Qualification), is continued by the State of Baden-Württemberg, co-funded by ESF)
The regional structural report as a tool for regional agenda setting
Necessity to find a shared interpretation of the situation is the basis for a common strategy and joint action.
The structural report monitors not only regional development but also the work of the partners involved. (Did we find solutions, did we make steps into the right direction?)
The report stimulates discussions among the general public and the different regional bodies about projects to develop regional competitiveness and innovation and to improve the situation on the labour market.
Thank you very much!
