Abstract: Abstract In a world where capital moves freely between countries, the main factor which determines the prosperity of a people is their skill. Countries which have higher levels of skill grow faster than other countries at the same level of income.1 So our policy on skills cannot be passive – to wait until manifest shortages appear. It must be active – to improve skill levels and thus produce in advance a more flexible workforce, better-equipped to respond to and initiate change.
