Skill mismatch is one of the main challenges faced by small-sized enterprises (SSEs). Empirical evidence showed that, in far too many cases, workers are not well-matched with their current jobs. Some are over-skilled for their current jobs-they are capable of handling more complex tasks and their skills are underutilised-while others are under-skilled for their current jobs-they lack the skills normally needed for their job. Under-skilling is also likely to affect productivity and slow the rate at which more efficient technologies and approaches to work can be adopted. Skills policies should support employers in making better use of the talent available to them. Mechanisms that help managers, particularly in SSEs, to identify skill gaps should be emphasised. These include enhancing training delivery systems and practices that make the best use of the existing skills base.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
