Labour shortages and employability: A European and international approach

Abstract

Labour shortages combined with persistent large–scale unemployment are attracting increasing attention from actors and observers in the economic and social sectors. Shortages appear to be the effect on the employment market of a rapid economic revival after years of crisis and unemployment, indicating a mismatch between labour supply and demand. Basically, they result from either the absence of a potential reserve of economically inactive labour, or the inadequate employability of some of those actively employed. This article aims to provide a global view of the situation as it affects particularly those European Union countries which are most attuned to the problem. It describes the shortages in these various countries, their main causes, and the approaches, either envisaged or already implemented, to remedying them.
