Problem

Disparity between workers skills and job requirements


Experimental visualization of narrower problems
Other Names:
Skills mismatch
Nature:

There is a growing disparity between the skill-structure of those seeking work and available vacancies, with a consequent growth in the share of 'structural' or 'frictional' unemployment.

Accelerating technological change and an ageing workforce with skills that need updating can lead to a situation where a need for skilled personnel and unemployment are coinciding.
