It is crucial to raise skill levels – more people and to higher levels But: these increased skill levels only make economic sense for
people and for business, if there are the jobs available to make use of those skills
Beyond Skills Upgrading: The importance of ‘Matching’ and ‘Demand’
Past and likely future qualification structure of jobs, shares in %, EU-25+
Total requirement qualification level, projected change 2006-20, in millions, EU-25+
Jobs/Skills Mismatch (2) Over-Qualification/Under-Employment– Unemployment– Under-utilisation of skills
Jobs/Skills Mismatch (3) The demand for high level skills (skill requirements) exceeds supply (skills availability) BUT:
– Variations in level of demand for high level skills; – Relatively slow increase in demand (skilled jobs/skill requirements); – Relatively rapid increase in supply (skilled people/skills available)
Demand: Business Ambition

We need to go beyond:(i) Skills upgrading; and
(ii) a better match between skill requirements and skills availability

The ‘virtuous circle’ of raising skills demand and supply
Business Ambition: Skills as a ‘derived’demand– Economic Policy
– Skill Utilisation
– Management and Leadership
