Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spread of New Information Technologies (NITs) to every sector of the economy has far reaching implication for the design of jobs, for patterns of work organization, and for vocational educational training systems. The full potential of the NITs is however being restricted by chronic skills shortages, particularly of high level NIT skills. Women will comprise a more significant proportion of the European Community (EC) labor force in the future, but they have traditionally been clustered at the bottom of the ladder in a limited number of industrial sectors. This report addresses three main issues: the extent to which the shake up in the work organization will facilitate better use of women as a resource; barriers to women filling the skill shortages in NITs; and how these barriers could be overcome. The report is divided into seven sections: (1) Introduction; (2) Barriers to Women's Employment (the gendering of jobs, child care and domestic commitments, qualifications); (3) Skill and the NITs (deskilling, upskilling and polarization; the "new pedagogics"; the social construction of skill); (4) Skill Shortages in the NITs (technicists, "hybrids" or "business analysts"); (5) Women's Employment and the NITs (gendered subject choice at school, qualifications and segregation, discrimination in employers' recruitment and promotion practices); (6) Women's Training in the NITs (the androcentricity of training provision, women returners' training needs, confidence building, women-only training, female tutors for NITs); and (7) Conclusion and Recommendations. The recommendations focus on ways in which women's access to training in NITs might be facilitated by school based education, vocational education training (VET) systems, and employers. Three tables display data on women's and men's employment in the EC; women's training and the European Social Fund; and students in IT related degree and postgraduate degree courses in the EC.

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.

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.

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 The Future of High Skilled Workers written by Ingrid Kofler and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-27 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature of work is changing, due to demographic shifts, globalization, and digitization. Regional local labor markets are in global competition for (highly) qualified and specialized workers. At the same time, the workforce’s desire for flexibility and the increasing speed at which skill requirements are changing are producing disparities at the spatial, social, and economic levels. This book discusses the global and local drivers behind these developments. It explores the factors which cause global inequalities between urban and rural areas, and highlights how cities, regions and countries attract these sought-after employees to address skills shortages. The book includes an in-depth case study on high-skilled workers in South Tyrol, Italy. No single academic discipline can adequately capture the dynamics of the future labor market, and the authors therefore take an interdisciplinary approach, combining insights from different disciplines. This book will be a valuable resource for policymakers, students and researchers seeking to understand the driving forces behind the ever-changing labor market and the future of high-skilled work.
