Unsere Gesellschaft altert: immer weniger Kinder werden geboren und gleichzeitig werden wir immer älter - eine unumkehrbare Entwicklung! Dies hat nicht nur Auswirkungen auf unsere Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft, sondern auch einen gravierenden Einfluss auf die zukünftige Personalarbeit in Unternehmen. Heutzutage gehören der demografische Wandel und der Fachkräftemangel zu den wichtigsten Themen in der Personalbeschaffung des deutschen Mittelstandes. Die Unternehmen stehen vor diesem Hintergrund vor der Herausforderung geeignete Nachwuchskräfte für sich zu gewinnen. Durch die demografische Entwick

"The availability of talent and skills has been a significant investment obstacle for firms across the EU over the years, with several sources highlighting the persistence and prevalence of skill shortages. In this paper, we use the European Investment Bank's Investment Survey (EIBIS) for the empirical analysis, which allows tracking corporate training investment on a yearly basis. To understand the reasons for firms' decision to invest in their workforce, we examine transition patterns and employ dynamic panel data estimation. We also analyse the impact of COVID-19 on firms' investment in workforce training and transitions in and out of training. Despite a slow upward trend in training investment observed in recent years supported by labour market recovery, differences across firms and countries have persisted. The pandemic risks aggravating these differences, through its uneven impact on labour markets and differences in corporate innovation, firm structure and resilience. While firm training can be an important element for firms and their workforce to adjust to the post-pandemic environment, asymmetries in training investment could make it harder for those already lagging. The paper concludes with a discussion of policy implications."

Overview Description Table of Contents Author Information Reviews and AwardsCoverSkills and Skilled WorkAn Economic and Social AnalysisFrancis GreenDescriptionSkills are frequently in the news and in the public eye in every country. Stories highlight concerns about education and literacy standards, grades, learning by rote, and university students being unprepared for work, as well as debates surrounding internships and apprenticeships, and social exclusion through skills policy. The recent financial crisis has forced education and training to take a back seat, and has caused an increase in youth unemployment. Skill and skilled work are widely considered important for promoting both prosperity and social justice. But how do we define skill?Skills and Skilled Work brings together multiple perspectives- economics, sociology, management, psychology, and political science- to present an original framework for understanding skills, skilled work, and surrounding policies. Focussing on common themes across countries, it establishes the concept and measurement of skill, and investigates the role of employers, workers, and other social actors. It considers a variety of skill problems and how a social response from the government can be understood. Based on the findings of economics, management science, and theories of social determination, it develops a rationale for social intervention beyond market failure.This book weighs up both the prospects and the limitations of what can be achieved for societies with a better emphasis on skills and skilled work, and it promotes the study of skill in modern economies as a distinct sub-field.
