Skills Shortages, Underemployment and Youth: The Quiet International Dilemma

Overview Worldwide, a paradox is hindering economic growth. Many nations have severe shortages of technicians concurrent with high rates of underemployed among four-year college graduates. The fundamental causes are labor market/social misconceptions by policy makers, youth and parents regarding the global high-skills/high-wage labor market. Eight recommendations are made in this paper to improve this dilemma. All speak to the importance of technical vocational education (TVE) in creating economic growth and individual opportunity.
