Abstract: Skill shortage is an impediment to innovation and economic growth. It is a serious problem in the EU that may undermine its competitiveness, Data from a recent Eurobarometer survey suggest that EU companies perceive more problems in recruiting staff with adequate skills than comparable companies outside the EU. Additionally, the former are also more likely to report than the latter that they have difficulties in filling jobs for master's or PhD degree holders and in recruiting R&D experts.
