Skills mismatch indicators
Skills mismatch refers to gaps and imbalances in skills available in the labour market. These include over- or under-qualification, labour market shortages or surpluses for specific qualifications or skills, hiring difficulties, and underemployment or unemployment for specific qualifications or skills. Different groups within the labour force may be affected, and different sectors or occupations may encounter more problems than others (Kriechel & Vetter, 2019).
