focused so that the regions have characteristics in producing the creative industry and can compete in the current era of
globalization. Creative industry in Indonesia began to mushroom in 2007, but many people still do not understand what sectors are
included into the creative industry and its development. With so many people's lack of understanding of the creative industry, it
makes its own homework for the government to socialize the creative industries so that the government seeks to map the creative
industries in Indonesia. Though the creative industry is able to contribute greatly to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of an area

This study aims to further understand the characteristics of creative industries, as well as to identify the constraints and
opportunities faced by creative industry players in Indonesia. To identify and analyze the creative industries used 4 quadrant
statistical methods Location Quadrant (LQ) and Dynamic Location Quotient (DLQ). This study uses secondary data of large and
medium industry statistics as well as small and micro industries in 2010-2013 at Provincial level obtained from the Central Bureau

The paper studies labour developments in Moldova during transition period. The questions addressed are the size and character of labour market adjustment. Established data sources have been complemented by the results of available surveys to get more precise estimates of the effective employment. Wage data was adjusted for the stock of arrears. We conclude that adjustment to the new market order in Moldova has been done trough prices, which is similar to other FSU countries. Real wages, if adjusted for arrears, amount to only 14% of the pre-transition level. On the other hand, only small labour shedding is observed. Registered unemployment rate is one of the lowest in the FSU and CEE countries. Such way of adjustment has a number of negative consequences, the most important being the phenomenon of unpaid leaves. It appears, that only formal affiliation with enterprise remains, leaving those people effectively unemployed. Survey evidence report double-digit open unemployment rates, with widespread under-employment. With no system of unemployment benefits in place, a substantial number of labour force is involved in survival informal activities.

L’étude montre ainsi que la faible adaptabilité des compétences – difficulté des personnes à se former à de nouveaux savoir-faire ou à changer de secteur d’activité – coûte à l’économie mondiale 150 milliards de dollars en manque de productivité et renchérit les coûts de recrutement.
Une analyse qui permet à PwC de lancer l’Index d’Adaptabilité des Compétences, qui positionne en tête les Pays-Bas, le Royaume-Uni et le Canada. La France prend la 7ème place du classement (sur 11 pays étudiés).
The Labour Market Information Council's Director, Tony Bonen presents at the International Labour Organization's Can we use Big Data for Skills Anticipation and Matching? Workshop on September 19, 2019 in Geneva.
Canadian employers across all regions, sectors, and industries are finding it increasingly difficult to recruit, retain, and train big data and analytics professionals, according to a new white paper published by Canada’s Big Data Consortium, Closing Canada’s Big Data Talent Gap.
Through a first-of-its-kind national, multi-sector study, the Consortium found that Canada’s Big Data Talent Gap is estimated between 10,500 and 19,000 professionals with deep data and analytical skills, such as those required for roles like Chief Data Officer, Data Scientist, and Data Solutions Architect. The gap for professionals with solid data and analytical literacy to make better decisions is estimated at a further 150,000, such as those required for roles like Business Manager and Business Analyst.
Even when the overall gap is narrowed, a shortage of talent with the right skills will persist unless existing academic and training curriculum are expanded to better meet employers’ needs. The Consortium believes that the talent gap is constraining Canada’s ability to innovate, compete, and grow the economy, and advises that industry, government, and academia must collaborate and start taking action now.
Working with senior information technology and information management leaders in Canada, the Consortium has developed six strategies, presented in this paper, to help close the country’s big data and analytics talent gap.
Tony Bonen, LMIC’s acting executive director, took part in a panel entitled 'Are Labour Shortages Really Constraining the Canadian Economy?' at the 2022 Canadian Economics Association conference, held at Carleton University. In his presentation, he discussed the topic of shortages in Canada and noted that there is no agreed-upon definition or measure for labour shortages.

Overview
Write a 2–3 page memo analyzing a U.S. state of your choice as a possible location for a new manufacturing plant.
Note: Complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented, beginning with Assessment 1.
Multiple demographic changes within the American labor force are impacting employee-employer relationships and cultures within companies. Planning to meet workforce demands requires both a labor market analysis and statistical information.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
· Competency 1: Describe how hiring practices support an organization's strategy.
. Assess elements of CapraTek's workplace culture that could be developed such that it becomes an employer of choice.
· Competency 2: Assess approaches for recruiting, selecting, and retaining talent.
. Identify the number of production employees to recruit and hire for CapraTek.
. Describe how employment and demographic trends for a selected state impact CapraTek's workforce planning.
· Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly and professional.
. Communicate in a professional manner that is appropriate for the intended audience.
Context
The following is one way to estimate the number of sales representatives needed next year:
· If the current number of sales representatives is 300, and the expected sales increase is 15 percent, then 300*.15 = 45 additional sales representatives, or a total of 345 are needed.
· If you factor in the estimated number of current sales representatives retiring (5 reps) and the estimated voluntary turnover rate (300*.10 = 30 reps), then you can add together 45 + 5 + 30 to estimate 80 total sales representatives.
· However, if 80 sales representatives go through the training, and 5 percent do not complete it, then an additional 4 sales representatives will need to be hired (80*.05 = 4).
· The total number of new sales representatives to hire is 84 (80 = 4).
Note: There are several places where you can do your estimations, and by using different assumptions you could produce slightly different results; however, the number of sales representatives to be hired should be very close to this example. Use this approach in this assessment.
The Assessment 1 Context document contains additional information about workforce planning.
Questions to consider
To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community.
· To what extent do trends affecting workforce planning (such as increasingly diverse populations, aging workers, uneven geographic growth, and changing governmental economic policies) impact an organization's ability to forecast its workforce needs?
Required Resources
The following resources are required to complete the assessment.

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

Defining and measuring labour and
skill shortages
5 December 2019
Steven Tobin
2. Why be concerned with shortages in the first place?
Inefficient
resource
allocation
Reduced
aggregate
production
Unappealing
working conditions
(e.g. increased
forced overtime,
unattractive job
assignments)
Decreased
output and
reduced profits
3. Media outlets express concern over shortages in Canadian
Economy
• Historically low national unemployment
rates and labour/skills shortages major
concern
• Businesses report difficulty finding workers1
• Concern over shortage situation paints
depressing picture:
In Canada, labour shortage is “the new normal”: study (CTV News, 2018).
Skilled labour shortages at record high for Canadian small businesses (Bloomberg, 2018).
Staff shortages create emergency situation for Canadian retailers (Retail Insider, 2019).
Labour shortages are holding back the construction sector: Here’s what governments and
businesses can do (On-Site, 2019).
4. Are shortages REALLY hindering Canada’s economic
prosperity?
Canada has a historically large labour shortage, but job-seekers are still struggling (Huffington Post, 2018)
Is Canada’s skills shortage real, or are businesses to blame? (The Conversation, 2017).
How the myth of a Canadian skill shortage was shattered (The Star, 2014)
McDaniel’s SSHRC study reveals no evidence of labour shortage (University of Lethbridge, 2014).
5. Inconsistent terminology: no single definition for what
shortages are
TERM DEFINITION
LABOUR SHORTAGE “A shortfall in the total number of individuals in the labour force..2”
LABOUR SHORTAGE “An insufficient number of workers in a particular occupation.3”
LABOUR SHORTAGE
“A situation in which the number of workers in an occupation is fewer
than what is ideal.4”
LABOUR SHORTAGE
“When the number of workers available increases less rapidly than the
number demanded at the salaries paid in the recent past.5”
SKILLS SHORTAGE
“A lack of workers arising from general shortfalls in the total number of
individuals in the labour force.6”
SKILLS SHORTAGE “A shortage of individuals in a particular occupation.7”
SKILLS GAP
“Widespread shortfall in the basic skills of future employees, usually
attributed to the failure of the education system.8”
SKILLS GAP
“When firms’ existing staff do not have the skills they need to do their job
effectively.9”
8. Analyzing the indicators
Signal Limitations
Hourly wage growth • Wage growth may accelerate independently of shortage conditions (e.g. in
response to increased productivity or during economic recovery after a recession).
• Wage growth may be sluggish despite shortage conditions (e.g. in monopsonist
market structures, due to underemployment, globalization, wage rigidities, etc.).
Employment growth • Employment growth may accelerate due to productivity increases
• Slower employment growth may signal a reduction in economic activity, rather than
a situation in which employers are unable to find right candidates
• Employment growth is a measure of demand only—in other words, it can serve only
as a precondition under which a shortage might occur, but it must be analyzed in
conjunction with supply-side indicators.
Vacancies • Vacancies may also highlight firm-side problems, such as poor working conditions
or hiring inefficiencies.
12. Digging deeper into the proxies
Type of
assessment
Description Example Limitation
Educational
attainment
Workers’
educational
attainment levels are
used to proxy the
skills they are
expected to have
acquired.
Bachelor’s
degree,
college
diploma
1. Analysis restricted to a small number of skill
categories.
2. Treats all individuals within the category to have the
same skills at the same level.
3. Fails to capture skills acquired outside of formal
educational programs, such as on-the-job training,
professional development courses, or adult
learning.
4. Does not reflect skills that are lost through disuse.
Field of study
(FOS)
The skills acquired
by one degree
program, such as art
history, differ from
the skills in another,
say accounting.
Art history,
accounting
1. Social desirability bias
2. Reliability and validity questionable
3. Costly
13. Potential Approaches Description
Approach 1: Skills to NOC classification Job analyst approach to develop observations about
skills content of Canadian occupations
Approach 2: Leverage web-scraped data After coding online job postings with NOC, the data are
empirically associated with skills (e.g., incidence rate)
Approach 3: Expert review of
workers/employers surveys
Experts review results from worker and/or employer
self-assessment of skills. Experts then assign skills
ratings to occupations
Approach 4: Hybrid of the above To be determined
Where can we go from here?
13
16. Example with O*NET skills, Economists, etc.
Skill Importance Level
1. Critical thinking 78 64
2. Mathematics 78 61
3. Reading comprehension 78 68
4. Active listening 75 57
5. Judgement and decision making 75 57
17. Limitations
• Skills are generic, high level skills that may not reflect those
skills asked for by employers
• Skills are not dynamic; it’s the same set of skills (across
geography, sectors, etc.).
• Important and complexity ratings may change over time, but not
the skills themselves.
• Timeliness is a factor
• Still limited to the level (or lack thereof) of granularity of data
19. Example: Vicinity Jobs NOC code 4162 (Economists, etc.)
Item Type Incidence
1. Communication skills skill 53%
2. Teamwork skill 47%
3. English language Work requirement 38%
4. Forecasting Work requirement 34%
5. Data Analysis Work requirement 22%
6. Decision making Skill 19%
7. EViews Work requirement 9%
8. Writing Skill 6%
9. MATLAB Work requirement 3%
20. Challenges/Limitations
• Distinguishing between “skills” and non-skill work
attributes is challenging
• Different machine learning algorithms yield different
results
• Representativeness
• Postings may include skills not actually needed
• Posting alone doesn’t indicate whether demand has
been met
22. Concrete next steps
• Refine our terminology – development of an appropriate
solutions requires a better articulation of the problem
• Be more precise in our understanding and
communication with respect to skills
• More local, granular labour market information (but
please, no more surveys)
• Associate skills to occupations – enable a more
thoughtful and educated discussion
• Questions remain as to how to address supply-side
