Abstract

ABSTRACT We analyse labour demand and mismatch for educational traits in information and communication technology (ICT) occupations, taking into account the areas of education, occupations and skills in demand, and the supply of labour. We based our analysis on almost 40 million online job offers and a CAWI survey of people aged 18–65 in Poland. The analysis uses official classifications, and considers both job-related and transversal skills. To analyse an objective measure of mismatch, we compare job requirements stated in job offers to the declared characteristics of potential labour supply, and present demand and mismatch for skills across occupations. We also model a declared educational mismatch and its determinants, including educational profiles of surveyed participants. In order to further investigate the mismatches in ICT fields of education, occupations and skills, we compare them with the mismatches in other occupational groups. The analysis concludes with direct educational policy recommendations, including the Sectoral Qualifications Framework for ICT occupations in Poland. Our approach shows the complete educational characteristics of skill demands and skill mismatches.

一份理想的工作？信息和通信技术中的技能需求和技能不匹配

摘要：我们分析了信息和通信技术（ICT）职业的劳动力需求和教育特征的不匹配，考虑了教育领域、需求的职业和技能以及劳动力供应。我们的分析基于近4000万份在线工作邀请和CAWI对波兰18-65岁人群的调查。该分析采用了官方分类，同时考虑了与工作相关的技能和横向技能。为了分析不匹配的客观衡量标准，我们将工作邀请中规定的工作要求与潜在劳动力供应的公布特征以及不同职业对技能的当前需求和不匹配进行了比较。我们还对已宣布的教育不匹配及其决定因素进行了建模，包括受调查参与者的教育概况。为了进一步调查信息和通信技术领域在教育、职业和技能方面的不匹配，我们将其与其他职业群体的不匹配进行了比较。分析最后提出了直接的教育政策建议，包括波兰信息和通信技术职业的部门资格框架。我们的方法显示了技能需求和技能不匹配的完整教育特征。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Education and Work is an international forum for academic research and policy analysis which focuses on the interplay of the education and economic systems. The journal examines how knowledge, skills, values and attitudes both about and for work and employment are developed within the education system. The journal also explores the various forms of industrial training and accreditation in the economic system, including changes in the economic and industrial infrastructure which influence the type of employees required. Work in the informal economy is also included.
