Abstract The subject of the paper is the development of employment and man-power in the county of Borken, situated in the North-West of the FRG close to the Dutch border. It discusses alternative strategies on the labor demand and supply sides which may serve to reach full employment. The analysis includes forecasts of the supply and the derived demand for labor in 1990, disaggregated into 33 sectors and 43 occupations. The main objective is to estimate that sectoral structure of labor demand and that professional structure of labor supply which in combination would lead to full employment by 1990. Alternative optimizations show that an overall increase of employment as well as an increased professional flexibility of the labor force are necessary to reach the employment objective. The optimal strategies indicate the direction which sector adaption and professional formation policies should take.
