Chapter 10.3 in Emerging Digital Spaces in Contemporary Society, 2010, pp 250-252 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The emergence of digital technologies and the transformation to a knowledge-based economy has created a significant demand for workers who are highly skilled in the use of information and communication technology (ICT). One of the significant impacts of the rapid growth and diffusion of ICT is a shortage of such highly qualified workers. However, the shortage is not just associated with there not being enough ICT workers. Currently, in Malaysia, there is also a major concern expressed by employers that the shortage of ICT workers is due to a skills shortage and employability issues, particularly among ICT graduates.
