Skills at the workplace: collaborative research based on PIAAC 2023 (SKILLS)
Abstract
Workers' skills are crucial for personal success and economic growth,
but ongoing changes such as digitalization and demographic shifts constantly
change skill needs. The project explores which cognitive and
noncognitive skills are necessary for the labor market and how this evolves
over time. By analyzing large-scale datasets across countries and over time, we
examine how skills relate to income, to what extent workers’ skills match
employers’ needs, how skills relate to age, and how training programs are
associated with skills. The project combines expertise from psychology,
sociology, and economics to better understand the demands of the labor market.
