Incidence:
A new dilemma has emerged in the workplace: an increasing shortage of skills in the places enjoying the best economic growth, coupled with a continuing - sometimes worsening - shortage of attractive work opportunities in other regions. The shortage of skills hampers the pace of recovery and growth in one place; high unemployment and lack of opportunities hampers social cohesion and enhancement in another. Often those who are unemployed or underemployed in one place have skills that are in short supply elsewhere. Bridging the two can transform both business and employment prospects.
