survey.
Identity and rationale:
The most common understanding of skill
mismatch in the European Union (EU) is one of
employers unable to fill vacancies despite high
unemployment. However, skill mismatch – a term
not always clearly understood (Box 1) – is more
pervasive. It is not only a problem for those
looking for a job, but affects most of the workforce
and can hamper both economic productivity and
individual potential.
Cedefop’s European skills and jobs (ESJ)
survey provides insights into the match between
the skills and jobs of adult workers in European
countries. The analysis aims to inform a diverse
audience of public vocational education and
training (VET) and labour market policy-makers
and the social partners, and to provide important
lessons for policy-making geared towards
tackling the phenomenon of skill mismatch in
European job markets.
