Abstract

"Mismatch unemployment arises when the qualifications of job seekers and the requirements of vacancies don't fit or when the spatial distance can't be overcome. Depending on the definition of occupations, sectors and regions, mismatch unemployment can account for up to 45 percent of unemployment. To decrease mismatch unemployment, not only measures enhancing occupational and/or regional mobility should be supported but also firms should be incentivized to provide on-the-job training if job seekers don't hold the desired qualifications." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
