This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Labour markets are undergoing structural transformation due to globalisation, demographic trends, advancing digital technologies and automation and changes in labour market institutions. Against this background, businesses increasingly report that the limited availability of skills poses an impediment to corporate investment. Genuine skill constraints can negatively affect labour productivity and hamper the ability to innovate and adopt technological developments. For individual Europeans, not having "the right skills" limits employability prospects and access to quality jobs. For Europe at large, persistent skill gaps and mismatches come at economic and social costs. This paper reviews the recent economic literature on skill mismatch and skill shortages, with a focus on Europe. It questions: how the job requirements of individuals can be measured; whether skill shortages stated by employers reflect the lack of suitable candidates or are due instead to the wage and working conditions being offered; what economic costs are posed by skill mismatch and shortages; and how policy can address the issue of skills, including the role of EU policies.
Download or read book European Year of Skills written by and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SMEs are currently facing structural difficulties in recruiting staff with the right skills. Skills mismatches and shortages are identified as one of the main challenges that the European Union is currently facing. There is a need to improve the supply and increase the take-up of education and training in areas linked to skills needs to overcome labour shortages, particularly in light of the digital and green transitions. Having a workforce with the skills that are in demand contributes to sustainable growth, leads to more innovation and improves companies' competitiveness. The European Year of Skills 2023 promotes a mindset of lifelong reskilling and upskilling. This is essential to help people develop the right skills for quality jobs and help companies, in particular small and medium enterprises (SMEs), to address labour shortages in the EU. The aim of this Flash Eurobarometer is to measure skills shortages in SMEs and provide insights in SMEs' recruitment and retention strategies. In detail, the survey covers the following: - Importance of skills for SMEs' business model - SMEs' experiences with finding and retaining workers with the rights skills - Skills shortages for specific job roles - Impact of skills shortages of SMEs' activities - SMEs' recruitment and retention strategies - SMEs' views on employee training - Recruiting staff from outside the EU.

Download or read book Piloting a European Employer Survey on Skill Needs written by Cedefop - European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European economy's competitiveness is affected by its capacity to prevent skill gaps and shortages in the labour market, especially when enterprises and their investments form major contributors to faster economic recovery. The European employer survey on skill needs makes an innovative contribution to linking the world of employers with that of education and training, offering skill needs identification and anticipation at European level and in Member States. This publication presents results from a pilot survey in 2012 for identifying employers' skill needs in nine Member States. It describes the measurement concept and survey methodology, and presents illustrative findings with some implications for future work. The approach's practicability is assessed and options for moving on to a large-scale survey on employer skill needs in Europe are discussed. -- EU Bookshop.

Download or read book Learning by Doing written by James Bessen and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology is constantly changing our world, leading to more efficient production. In the past, technological advancements dramatically increased wages, but during the last three decades, the median wage has remained stagnant. Many of today's machines have taken over the work of humans, destroying old jobs while increasing profits for business owners and raising the possibility of ever-widening economic inequality. Author James Bessen argues that avoiding this fate will require unique policies to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to implement the rapidly evolving technologies. At present this technical knowledge is mostly unstandardized and difficult to acquire, learned through job experience rather than in classrooms. Nor do current labor markets generally provide strong incentives for learning on the job. Basing his analysis on intensive research into economic history as well as today's labor markets, the author explores why the benefits of technology take years, sometimes decades, to emerge. Although the right policies can hasten this process, policy has moved in the wrong direction in recent decades, protecting politically influential interests to the detriment of emerging technologies and broadly shared prosperity.

Download or read book EIB Investment Report 2018 2019 Retooling Europe s economy written by European Investment Bank and published by European Investment Bank. This book was released on 2018-11-28 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Investment Report, issued annually by the European Investment Bank, provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of investment and the financing of investment in the European Union. It combines the exploration of investment trends with in-depth analysis, focusing especially on the drivers and barriers to investment activity. The report leverages on a unique set of databases and survey data, including EIBIS, an annual survey of 12 500 firms in Europe, which focuses on their assessment of investment and investment finance conditions, and which allows analysis with firm balance sheet information. The report provides critical inputs to policy debates on the need for public action on investment, and on the types of intervention that can have the greatest impact. This year's report addresses a moment of economic recovery in which investment growth, overall, is strong, but downside risks to the economic outlook are rising. It identifies many ways in which current investment is still structurally inadequate, given the legacy effects of the recent crisis and the great challenges that lie ahead. There is an urgent need to re-tool Europe, from its infrastructure and innovation ecosystem, through to its businesses and workers, to enhance prosperity and social cohesion.

Book excerpt: The Study is designed to assist the European Commission DG Justice and Consumers in assessing the EU approach to and policy on minority shareholder protection. The Study includes a thorough analysis and assessment of every Member State's legal framework as it relates to minority shareholder protection, and it focuses on all the main categories of minority shareholder rights, namely economic, control (decision making), information, litigation, and equal treatment rights. It strives to enable policymakers to obtain a clearer picture of Member States' hard laws (such as laws, regulations, other legal acts, and listing rules), soft laws (such as corporate governance codes) and established case law with respect to minority shareholder protection. It identifies any gaps, inconsistencies and incompatibilities in the legal frameworks of all the Member States, especially ones that may influence cross-border investment and the further development of the Single Market. It also provides input for the Commission's ongoing work on monitoring corporate governance developments in the EU.
