In these respects he was able to move the European migration research some steps up in speed. His research was based upon four years of solid data collecting on at least NUTS 3 level; for some countries he was able to obtain even more detailed and sophisticated data. Among the more curious findings he recorded that the likelihood of obtaining a job in destination matters only little in the migration decision which may be the reason for the lack of impact of European Mobility Policies of that time.

In 1997, Mr Kinch was deployed by the Danish Public Employment Service in order to describe and refine the Danish Regional Labour Market Monitoring System which at that time was considered to be one the most advanced in the world. The opportunity kick-started Mr Kinch’s long research in Labour Market Monitoring and Early Warning Systems; his research on these matters has lasted for more than a decade and later extended to include techniques for Benchmark Studies notably in Transition and Developing Economies. In addition he has done solid research in economic behaviour of transition economies.

However, perhaps the most profound and devoted research may be his research in Labour Market Monitoring procedures and methods in mature EU Member States. The study, based upon extensive field studies, included a study of the involvement of Social Partners in the process as well as a description of the various types of Early Warning Systems in Europe.

The 2000-01 field studies involved visits to private and public stakeholders in England, Germany, France, The Netherlands, Sweden, and Spain with focus on interviews on matters of labour market systems, methods of diagnostics and means of intelligence.

In 2008-09 parts of the 2001-study was repeated with focus on information systems, which included studies of Labour Market Information Systems, Career Guidance Systems, and Management Information Systems. The field studies involved meetings in Denmark, Germany, France, and Sweden. The preparation phase involved an interview with AIDCO and DG Employment in Brussels to gain more knowledge on implementation of information systems in pre-accession countries. The research was devoted to describe reasons for the high frequency of failure in projects devoted to implementation of LMIS, including a study on how systems work provided the different approaches to welfare systems in EU.

Within the past 15 years Mr Kinch has developed a method to rank and forecast labour shortages. He has developed a template for labour market studies or analysis, called Comprehensive Labour Market Analysis (CLMA) which method / template is consistent with the requirements of National Action Plans but yet still allows stakeholders to design measures in Education and Labour Market with far greater success rates. Likewise, he has further described and categorized the methods in surveys to ensure accountability and far better outcomes in terms of both response rates and ways to design adequate policies.

Mr Kinch’s research has rounded the corners of Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Sociology, and Group Psychology including studies of sexual behaviour and cultural differences. Most of his findings are being transferred as research notes and training materials in his always well-visited training courses.
