Employers are experiencing difficulties in recruiting staff, especially for
high-skilled jobs.
Shortages are predicted in ICT with an estimated deficit for the whole of
Europe of 700,000 for ICT specialists by 2015 and of one million by
2025.
To boost the EU employment rate to reach 75 % by 2020, the European
Commission launched its flagship initiative “An Agenda for new skills
and jobs”.
