12. Practical example regarding mobility
Paul Krugman , The New York Times, Nov 2013
1960-1985 active population +2,1% => fast growing economy
2015-2025 active population +0,2% => economical stagnation
Yesterday; Jobs and skills available
Today; less jobs and less skills available (due 2 recession and higher life expectation)
Tomorrow; jobs but less skills available (due 2 stagnation and less active population).
Even when economy improves, the skills needed for the created jobs are not there!
How to deliver key skills where they are needed? Talents Mobility
When do we need it? Now
Tomorrow has already arrived when we talk about skills shortage!
