This note presents indicators for the regular monitoring of skills mismatches across the EU. Skills mismatch is a situation where the skills sought by employers are different from the skills offered by workers or job-seekers. The note distinguishes three groups of skills mismatch indicators: macroeconomic skills mismatch, which relates to the gap between the skills that the working age population has and the skills needed in the economy; specific skills shortages experienced by employers that are recruiting workers for occupations requiring specific skills; and on-the-job skills mismatch which relates to differences between a worker's skills and the skills needed for his/her job.
