Skills gaps, skill and labour shortages, and mismatch – Existing evidence
Grant agreement no. 101132581 Deliverable: D1.1
This document provides an overview of the scientific literature on skills gaps, skill and labour shortages, and mismatch. Given that the existing literature is vast, and that there exist a number of recent overviews of the literature, the aim is to explore the literature most relevant for SkiLMeeT. The overview therefore focuses on some considerations regarding the relevant concepts and measurement; the drivers of skills gaps and shortages and mismatch considered in SkiLMeeT, i.e. mainly the technological and green transitions, but also other megatrends; and pathways to reduce skills gaps and shortages and mismatch considered in SkiLMeeT, i.e. education (educational choice, the dual education system, re- and upskilling) and worker mobility. The document also indicates relevant policy initiatives as well as the specific contributions made by SkiLMeeT.
