"The economic, financial and social crisis afflicting Europe has brought out the weak points of the European economic and social model, and wiped out some aspects of the progress achieved in the past. According to the available data, there are currently 23.051 million people unemployed in the EU, which is 9.5% of the active population, and this has serious consequences for growth and prosperity in Europe. Equally alarming are the difficulties that some employers face over the recruitment of employees, particularly for highly-qualified positions. Even during the crisis it was difficult for some of them to fill posts with properly qualified people. I firmly believe that boosting human capital and employability through modernising skills would be a step in the right direction for European recovery.
It is essential to give people the right incentives that will assist them in the effort to modernise their skills, help them to make a closer link between education and vocational training and work, and predict more effectively what skills will be needed in the future, in order to ensure a better balance between supply and demand on the labour market. In order to create effective policies on employment, education and vocational training, it is essential to improve the ability of Member States and the Union to make forecasts, predict the nature of future qualifications and ensure that they meet the needs of the labour market."@en1
