摘要:As the world entered the 21st century, global skill shortages in many occupations were evident throughout the world. While these were mitigated by a global recession, there is no generally agreed upon method for measuring these shortages. This text discusses various theories of measurement. Using data from 19 developed countries in North America, Europe and the Pacific region, the authors explore the various aspects of skilled labour shortages, develop a methodology of measuring shortages by occupation and provide estimates of the likelihood of the occurrence of such shortages.
