In recent years, research on labor outcomes and education shows that there is a substantial mismatch between the supply and demand for skills around the world (Cappelli, 2014: McIntosh and Vignoles, 2001). This mismatch affects more than just wages or individual job satisfaction. Skills mismatches have an impact on productivity and growth at both the firm level and the macro-economic level (Quintini, 2014). Reports show that firms around the world consider skills challenges to be an impediment to the operation and development of their business. A cause for further concern is that this constraint seems to be disproportionately affecting the more dynamic and innovative employers, signifying a potentially negative impact on job creation and technological progress (World Bank, 2012). 2018-05-15T16:16:10Z 2018-05-15T16:16:10Z 2018-05-01 Brief http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/210071526072991842/Measuring-skills-demanded-by-employers-skills-toward-employment-and-productivity-STEP http://hdl.handle.net/10986/29816 English Job Notes;No. 5 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Brief
