Skills and workforce development are at the heart of much research on work, employment and management. Equally policy makers and managers throughout the world often cling to skill, believing that better development of them is the answer to a seemingly expanding range of practical and policy challenges. But are they so important? To what extent can they make a difference for individuals, organisations and nations? How are the supply and - more importantly - the utilisation of skill - current evolving? What are the key factors shaping skills trajectories of the future? This Handbook provides an authoritative consideration of issues such these. It does so by drawing on experts in a wide range of disciplines including sociology, economics, labour/industrial relations, human resource management, education and geography. The book’s 32 Chapters are organised around seven sections: I: Concepts and Definitions of SkillII: Skill FormationIII: Skill UtilisationIV: Skill OutcomesV: Differing skill systems – Levels of determinationVI: Differing skill systems – Dynamics at different stages of developmentVII: Current Challenges The Handbook is relevant for all with an interest in the changing nature, and future, of work, employment and management. It draws on the latest scholarly insights to shed new light on all the major issues concerning skills and training today. While written primarily by leading scholars in the field it is equally relevant to policy makers and practitioners responsible for shaping the development of human capability today and into the future.
