HAYS GLOBAL SKILLS INDEX 2012
Produced in partnership with Oxford Economics, the "Hays Global Skills Index 2012", takes an in-depth look at global employment and highlights skill gaps across 27 major countries.
We found our clients are facing a major paradox, with many countries witnessing high unemployment, while still suffering from skill shortages in key professions. This is a result of labour market inflexibility, global competition for talent and inadequate education and training.
Through an analysis of seven components, covering areas such as education levels, labour market flexibility, and high-skill wage pressures, we have been able to create a score for each country between 0 and 10.0 on the constraints and pressures being faced by its market for skilled labour.
