This was up from 42% in 2018, an increase of 33 percentage points. And there&#8217;s no sign of demand for skilled workers slowing any time soon. Skill shortages are increasingly becoming a serious problem for employers across Europe, as illustrated by different surveys. In 2023, 54% of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in the EU reported that difficulties in finding employees with the right skills were one of their most serious issues, according to Eurostat.<\/p>\n<p>ManpowerGroup, a global workforce solutions company, also found that three in four employers in 21 European countries could not find the skills they required. This was 42% in 2018, corresponding to 33 percentage points or a 79% rise in the last five years. The survey, published in October 2023, showed that talent shortage is a significant global challenge. \u201cFigures in our annual Talent Shortage survey increased dramatically, as the need for skilled workers is becoming more and more acute,\u201d Mara Stefan, VP of Global Insights at ManpowerGroup, told Euronews Business.<\/p>\n<p>The shortage included European countries as well. On average, across 21 European countries, 75% of employers reported difficulty in filling job roles, ranging from 59% in Finland to 82% in Germany and Greece. \u201cIn Europe, we see falling unemployment, meaning there are not enough skilled workers to fill existing or new jobs. To exacerbate this, Europe has an ageing population, with a global decline in birthrates further contributing to the skills and talent gaps we see today\u201d, she underlined.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis partly explains why Germany\u2019s talent figure shortages are steeper than Finland. In 2023, Germany\u2019s unemployment rate was 3.0%, whilst Finland\u2019s was at 7.0%, resulting in a smaller pool for finding skilled labour,\u201d Mara Stefan added.\u00a0In 2018, the average was only 42% in these countries, varying from 18% in Ireland to 81% in Romania. Except for Romania, the share of employers who could not find the skills they needed increased substantially between 2018 and 2023.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/business\/2024\/04\/08\/eu-jobs-crisis-as-employers-say-applicants-dont-have-the-right-skills\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/business\/2024\/04\/08\/eu-jobs-crisis-as-employers-say-applicants-dont-have-the-right-skills\">Euronews Business<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/eu-jobs-crisis-as-employers-say-applicants-dont-have-the-right-skills\/\">EU jobs crisis as employers say applicants don&#8217;t have the right skills<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[425,274,915,14069,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-129495","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-crisis","tag-eu","tag-job","tag-right-skill","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129495"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129495\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129495"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
