Skills-jobs mismatch is the discrepancy between the skills being sought by employers and the capability that job applicants possess. In other words, it is a mismatch between qualifications and available positions. This means that education and training are not providing the skills needed in the labor market.
The ILO has estimated that the transition to a green economy could create 18 million jobs worldwide. It said enhanced policy coordination, social dialogue and partnership are essential, in addition to sound national sectoral policies. The PBEd recently launched “A Future That Works” , a 23-month local workforce development program, funded by Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, to ensure that Filipinos joining the labor force have competencies aligned with the needs of the industry.
The pandemic and increasing awareness on climate change have led to the emergence of new niches in the labor market, where there are a growing number of vacancies, but still few qualified applicants, for now, according to a new report from the Department of Labor and Employment. In its preliminary Jobs and Labor Market Forecast 2023-2025, DOLE’s Bureau of Local Employment identified information technology and platform industry as among the industries with “emerging jobs.” .
