Summary
The degree to which someone is productive depends on skills, knowledge and competencies. Despite the many initiatives to strengthen lifelong learning as well as the widely shared sense of urgency, there is still underutilization of the opportunities that a skills market can offer in matching supply and demand on the labour market.

Moreover, this reports shows how to stimulate a skills driven labour market and what roles and tasks stakeholders could have.
