Why a OECD strategy for skills? Skills
matter...
for individuals... because skills have an increasing impact on labour market
outcomes and social participation
and for economies because failure to ensure a good skills match has bothshort-term consequences (skills shortages) and longer-term effects on economic growth and equality ofopportunities
But better skills do not automatically translate intohigher incomes and higher productivity Ineffective skills policies come at a cost
