In this study, an attempt has been made to estimate the incidences of job mismatch in Pakistan. The study has divided the job mismatch into three categories; education-job mismatch, qualification mismatch and field of study and job mismatch. Both the primary and secondary datasets have been used in which the formal sector employed graduates have been targeted. This study has measured the education-job mismatch by three approaches and found that about one-third of the graduates are facing education-job mismatch. In similar, more than one-fourth of the graduates are mismatched in qualification, about half of them are over-qualified and the half are under-qualified. The analysis also shows that 11.3 percent of the graduates have irrelevant and 13.8 percent have slightly relevant jobs to their studied field of disciplines. Our analysis shows that women are more likely than men to be mismatched in field of study.

In this study, an attempt has been made to estimate the incidences of the job mismatch and its determinants in Pakistan. This study has divided the job mismatch into three categories: qualification-job mismatch, skill mismatch and field of study mismatch. The primary dataset has been used in which employed graduates of the formal sector have been targeted. The paper has also measured the qualification-job mismatch by three approaches, and found that about one-third of the graduates have been facing qualification-job mismatch. Similarly, more than one-fourth of the graduates are mismatched in skills, about half of them are over-skilled and the rest are under-skilled. The analysis also shows that 11.3 percent of the graduates have irrelevant, and 13.8 percent have slightly relevant jobs to their field of study. The analysis reveals that over-qualified and over-skilled graduates are less satisfied, while under-qualified and under-skilled graduates are more satisfied with their current jobs. A similar situation has been observed in case of the field of study mismatch, where both the moderate and complete fields of study matched graduates are more satisfied than the mismatched ones. The job search behaviour is positively associated with the level of education. Over-qualification has a positive impact, while under-qualification has a negative effect to search for another job. A good match between field of study and current job reduces the likelihood of intention to quit the job.

Purpose Education-job mismatches, especially overeducation or vertical mismatch, are generally found to lower the worker’s job satisfaction, which may generate the counter-productive behaviors, such as high rates of absenteeism and turnover in developed countries. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impacts of educational mismatches from their both forms and dimensions (match, overeducation, horizontal mismatch and double mismatch) on the job satisfaction among university graduates in Cambodia. Design/methodology/approach To deal with the sample selection bias owing to the unobserved job satisfaction of unemployed graduates, this paper applies the Heckman probit model on a survey conducted with 19 higher education institutions in Cambodia. Findings Results indicate that a half of graduates suffer at least one type of educational mismatch and the both forms of mismatches adversely affect the job satisfaction with the strongest impact from the double mismatch case. Research limitations/implications The authors take into account the sample selection bias, but are not able to deal with the unobserved heterogeneity, such as individual competences and preferences. With the panel data, it would be possible to isolate those individual fixed effects. Practical implications The findings underline the importance of improvement in the quality of higher education in Cambodia that seems to play a main role in this education-job mismatch problem. Creating the occupational counseling for the high school students would be also helpful to orientate students to the majors strongly needed by the labor market. Originality/value This paper focuses on all forms and dimensions of mismatches and takes into account the sample selection bias in the context of a low-income country where the increasing rate of enrollment in higher education seems to be accompanied by an increasing rate of education-job mismatches. Previous research works focused mostly on overeducation and in developed countries.

Full textAbstract:
Using the capability approach as a theoretical framework, this article aims to: (1) explore how subjective individual well-being differs among higher education graduates and especially to what extent it is associated with graduates’ vertical education–job mismatches; (2) reveal the embeddedness of the link between graduates’ vertical education–job mismatches and subjective well-being in different socio-economic contexts; and (3) outline some policy implications of the analysis undertaken. It argues that vertical education–job mismatch among graduates has an important influence on experiences of the benefits that come from higher education. By analysing micro-level data from the European Social Survey, carried out in 2012 and macro-level data for 24 European countries via descriptive statistics and multilevel regression, the study shows that education–job mismatch is associated with capability deprivation, as graduates who are vertically mismatched have less interest in what they are doing, feel less autonomous and competent, and are less confident that they are leading a meaningful life or being treated with respect by others in comparison to those graduates who are employed in jobs which correspond to their level of education. The article also provides evidence that the association between graduates’ education–job mismatches and individual subjective well-being is embedded in different socio-economic contexts.

Full textAbstract:
Job mismatch among graduates reflects inefficiencies in the labor market. An imbalance between the demand and supply of graduates in the labor market leads to a horizontal mismatch. Nations make progress based on knowledge and education but despite obtaining higher education individuals are unable to find a job related to their field of study. This phenomenon occurs when educational institutes produce a large number of graduates while on the other hand, the supply of graduates exceeds the demand for graduates. This study aims to find out the determinants of horizontal mismatch and to analyze the reasons why workers have accepted the mismatched job. By using the worker’s self-assessment method required data is collected from the clerical workers of public and private sector universities at Lahore in 2019. These universities include the University of the Punjab, Lahore, and the University of Management and Technology, Lahore. Results of Logistic Regression analysis concluded that cost of job search, asymmetric information, and methods used to find a job are the most important determinants of job-mismatch. This study has also analyzed the reasons why workers have accepted their present mismatched job. Findings concluded that individuals accepted mismatched-job due to pay and promotion opportunities and a good working environment. This study suggested establishing linkages between educational institutes and industries to better formulate the policy that reduces the extent of horizontal mismatch. Keywords: Job-mismatch; logistic regression; worker’s self-assessment approach; graduates; asymmetric information

Full textAbstract:
The paper estimates the determinants and effects of the job–education field match on graduates’ salaries and job satisfaction taking the merged data from the Russian Labour Force Survey and the National Survey of Graduate Employment, both conducted in 2016. The authors use various measures of the horizontal job–education match: the respondents’ self-assessment and the objective measure derived from job and education fields codes from the corresponding classifiers. The analysis has shown that the probability of having a job in accordance with the received education is higher for graduates in the sphere of medical, computer and law sciences. There is a penalty for mismatched from 6% to 13% compared to those working accordingly the received diploma. The higher the degree of the mismatch - the greater the penalty. The size of penalty depends on major and on the match measure used. The study revealed the negative impact of the job–education horizontal mismatch on job satisfaction, which provides some evidence that the mismatch is mostly involuntary.

Full textAbstract:
This study estimates the incidence of job mismatch and its determinants in Pakistan, based on three categories: (i) qualification mismatch, (i) skill mismatch, and (iii) field-of-study mismatch. It uses both primary and secondary datasets that target graduates employed by the formal sector. The study measures the qualification mismatch using three approaches and finds that about one third of the graduates sampled face a qualification mismatch. Similarly, more than one fourth are mismatched in terms of skill, about half are over-skilled, and half are under-skilled. The analysis also shows that 11.3 percent hold jobs that are irrelevant to their discipline and 13.8 percent have jobs that are slightly relevant to their discipline. Women are more likely than men to be over-qualified, and age has a negative association with over-qualification. Graduates who belong to political families have a better qualification match but a lower field-of-study match. While a higher level of schooling prevents graduates from being under-qualified, it also raises the likelihood of being over-qualified and over-skilled. Occupation-specific disciplines offer more protection against the possibility of job mismatch. Both full-time education and semester-system education reduce job mismatch, while distance learning raises job mismatch. The phenomena of being over-qualified and over-skilled is more prevalent in lower occupations, as is field-of-study mismatch.

In this study, an attempt has been made to estimate the incidence of job mismatch and its impacts on graduate‘s earnings in Pakistan. The study has divided the job mismatch into three categories; qualification-job mismatch, skill mismatch and field of study and job mismatch. The primary dataset has been used in which the formal sector employed graduates have been studied. This study has measured the qualification-job mismatch by three approaches and found that about one-third of the graduates are facing qualification-job mismatch. Similarly, more than one-fourth of the graduates are mismatched in skill, about half of them are over-skilled and the half are under-skilled. The analysis also shows that 11.3 percent of the graduates have irrelevant and 13.8 percent have slightly relevant jobs to their studied field of disciplines. Our analysis shows that over-qualified graduates face wage penalty under different approaches. After controlling skill heterogeneity, there is less penalty to apparently over-qualified and more penalty to genuinely over-qualified. The over-skilled graduates face wage penalties and the under-skilled get wage premiums as compared to the matched workers. A good field of study and job matches also improve the wages of graduates.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the incidence and wage effects of vertical, horizontal, and full job-education mismatch for high skilled immigrant and native-born men over a six-year period, using a Canadian longitudinal dataset. Immigrants (particularly racial minorities immigrants) are more likely to be fully mismatched than white native-born Canadians. Full mismatch lowers initial wages, especially for racial minority immigrants. Full mismatch accelerates immigrants' wage growth slightly over time, but this is not enough to narrow the immigrant wage gap over the six-year survey period. The results highlight the importance of disaggregating the different types of job-education mismatch experienced by immigrants.

Full textAbstract:
Job-education mismatch and overeducation issues among graduates have been discussed extensively, specifically related to the incidents, determinants, methods of measurement, and the effects of the mismatch. Despite this, the concept of job-education mismatch itself is not clearly explained. Since understanding this concept has theoretical and practical implications, this paper provides a critical review of the job mismatch concept and relates it to overeducation, which is a type of job-education imbalance under a vertical mismatch. This study relies solely on the literature review and does not provide any empirical evidence related to these concepts. A few issues have been highlighted and worth considering for further deliberation. Firstly, even though job-education mismatch, overeducation, overqualification, and underemployment are interchangeably used, these concepts have quite a distinct meaning. Secondly, when individuals’ skills are considered in discussing vertical and horizontal mismatch, the scope of mismatch tends to be broader than that of overeducation. Thirdly, the discussion on overeducation tends to concentrate on the level of study imbalance and not on both the level and type of study. Fourthly, job-education imbalance by the field of study (horizontal mismatch) is not easily defined, and the discussion tends to be related to overeducation.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis contributes to the existing literature by studying the link between educational choices, skill mismatch and wages in a labour market with search frictions with on-the-job search. In the first paper, I used empirical techniques to look at the link between skill mismatch and wages. I found that over-education and mismatch is part of a career mobility or job-to-job transition in the labour market. Workers accept jobs for which they are overqualified and search on-the-job to move to jobs that are more matched to their educational level. In the process they accept a wage cut which is temporary until they are able to find a job better suited to their level of education. In the second paper, I used search and matching framework to study the link between on-the-job search and wages in an economy where high and low ability workers compete for jobs. On-the-job search is a way in which workers reduce the extent of mismatch and firms react to this. However, this interaction implies that when more workers try to relocate the friction in the market reduces the efficiency of resource allocation (by increasing mismatch) and it also creates more wage inequality between the different types of workers. Finally in the third paper, I looked at the link between educational choices, and skill mismatch in a labour market with search frictions. I found that fewer search frictions lead to higher inequality in wages. If the cost of education is low enough, more individuals choose to acquire education and get trained. As a consequence mismatch increases.

Full textAbstract:
The uptake of university education in Australia has increased in recent years. At the same time, studies in Australia and elsewhere have indicated that substantial imbalances exist between the labour demand for, and supply of, highly qualified individuals, and that this may result in unfavourable labour market outcomes. This thesis explores these types of issues in the Australian graduate labour market, using data on Australian university graduates from 1999 to 2009, with a focus on education-job mismatch and its consequences.In the empirical analyses, the incidence, determinants and labour market outcomes of education-job mismatch are explored. The research also examines the earnings impacts of education-job mismatch on segments of the Australian graduate labour market. Specifically, the gender, institutional and length of job tenure differences in education-job mismatch and earnings effects are explored. The research in these areas will be of help in providing information on issues such as the gender wage gap, and the deregulation of university fees. This thesis makes valuable contributions to the literature in at least two aspects. First, the increase in university education attainment in Australia has been fuelled by policy changes in the higher education sector in recent years. The findings of the thesis will, therefore, be timely in adding to the debate on these changes, at least from a labour market perspective. Second, the methodology used in the examination of education-job mismatch and graduate earnings has not been used in any other studies, as far as the author is aware.A substantial proportion of Australian graduates are found to be mismatched, in that they possess qualifications higher than that required for their jobs. This has been shown to lead to adverse earnings consequences, particularly for those with large extents of education-job mismatch. Policy implications arising from the findings of the analyses are provided, and directions for future research are given in the concluding chapter.

Purpose: This research aims to explore the situation of education-job mismatch in Taiwan’s higher education, to analyze predictable personal factors, and to provide specific suggestions. Subjects: It targeted 2,081 people with higher-education academic background draw from the database titled TEPS-B in 2015. Design/methodology: This research used ISCO-08, ISCED-97, and UCAN as standards for calculating the ratios of overeducation, undereducation, and jobs unrelated to the field of study. In addition, it applied the chi-square test to analyze the difference of background variety items in education-job mismatch. It also used logistic regression to testify “real” education-job mismatch and attempted to determine predictable factors for identifying background variables in Taiwan’s higher education. Findings: The education-job mismatch in Taiwan is a “real” mismatch, and 29.2% participants cannot make good use of what they have learned in their working fields. The rate of overeducation is 44%, which is higher than that in developed countries, and 32% participants were engaged in work that does not require higher educational qualifications. Furthermore, people who live in northern Taiwan, and those who have children tend to have a qualification mismatch. In addition, men and those employed in the private sectors are more likely to be engaged in jobs unrelated to their field of study. Research limitations: ISCO-08 recognizes that “professionals” in the second major category, must possess a master’s degree . However, having a bachelor’s degree and relevant licenses can work as a professional in Taiwan. So, it recommended that future researchers take the obtainment of qualifications as referential measures. Practical implications: Policymakers should take measures to resolve theovereducation problem in Taiwan’s higher education such as: first,the high rate of engaging in work that does not require higher educational qualifications; second, those who are equipped with higher education backgrounds encounter difficulties in utilizing their skills practically. Originality/ value: Previous studies on education-job mismatch in Taiwan have used “worker self-assessment” or “realized matches.” This research used “job analysis” which are international standards for measurements, and helpful for further future applications of international comparison.

This research mainly discusses the issue about how university graduates put the knowledge they learn from school into practice. it adopts higher education database nationwide as data reference, uses statistics software “stata10” as research tool, and observes the significance of each variance by adopting Chi-Square test. By coordinating the information above, the result shows that under statistic significant standard 0.001, variances such as current work situation, job type, work location, the validity of university education, the required education level for work, satisfaction about current job, school major, school type, and school performance ranking, all present a significant outcome, which are able to efficiently explain how general university graduates put what they have learned into workplace. Moreover, this research use Binary Bogit Model as analysis method. By adopting above model, the result shows that full time employees, white collars, southern area workers, the validity of university education for work, graduates who are satisfied at their work, medical majors, people who are lack of education, and public university graduates are more likely to feel that they truly put what they have learned from school into practice.

Abstract The main purpose of this thesis is to explore “The impact of Job-Education Mismatch on Wage.” This article uses Mincer equation and the Mincer equateion under overeducation, with ordinary least squares (OLS) for estimation to evaluate the relationship between the independent variables and wage. Data used for analysis in the dissertation is used from the survey data from “social strata” in the third instance and fourth period of the “Taiwan societal changes basic survey program” from the Institute of Sociology at the Academia Sinica. Results of this study show: 1. In the estimate results of overeducation, the two measurement tools of “self-assessment” and “mean realized matches” showed significant differences. “Self-assessment” showed higher ratios of overeducation, and “mean realized” shows lower ratios of overeducation. 2. Age, work experience, education year, whether with professional technique show a positive correlation with wage: the square of work experience shows a negative relationship with wage. Furthermore, gender, region, and size of companies are also important factors influencing wage. 3. There is a negative correlation between undereducation years and wage. There is a positive correlation between wage and adequate education years and overeducation years, and this is consistent with past literature. 4. When using “self-assessment” as a measurement tool, the wage for those with adequate education years are higher than that of those with overeducation years, and the wage of those with adequate education years are lower than that of those with undereducation years, and this is consistent with past literature. When using “mean realized matches” as a measurement tool, it is found that the wage of those with adequate education years are higher than that of those with overeducation years. Wage of those with adequate education years are higher than those with undereducation years, unlike in past literature. 5. When using “self-assessment” as the measuring tool, when there is the same number of education year, the wage of those with overeducation are lower than that of those with adequate education; Those with undereducation had higher wage than those with adequate education, and this is consistent with past literature. However, when using “mean realized matches” as the measurement tool, when there is the same number of education year, the wage of those with overeducation is higher than those with adequate education, while wage of those with undereducation are lower than that of those with adequate education; this is different from past literature.

The main purpose of this thesis was to survey the earning and working conditions for 1427 adults aged 20 to 65 years old and evaluate the impact of job-education mismatch on earning in Taiwan. After comparing the effectiveness of the objective and subjective measurement by contingency analyses, personal background variables, work background variables and job-education mismatch on earning were entered hierarchically to investigate the incremental variances that could account for. The empirical results indicated that the personal background variables, the work background variables and the job-education mismatch all could explained significant variances. Specifically, over-education and under-utilized skill negatively affected earning after controlling for personal background variables and work background variables. Furthermore, the objective measurement is more appropriate than the subjective measurement to evaluate the degree of under-utilized skill. Finally, suggestions for future researchers and government are provided based on the findings.

Since the time that government has removed the threshold for setting up institute for tertiary education, graduate of university has soared up year after year. As viewed from the perspective of manpower, education is, in reality, a kind of investment as the professional knowledge students learn in university should prepare themselves for the skills of future work. If what they learn cannot be practiced it will lower the return of education. Nonetheless, it has been oftentimes observed that the phenomenon of discrepancy of study against practice does exist within job market, and scenario of kind will, for the holistic economy, not only render waste to educational resources, but also lower job satisfaction for individuals. In turn affect the employment market This article will investigate “The Impact of Education-Occupation Mismatch on Job Satisfaction” and the information has taken from the “Graduate Questionnaire from 2002” of Taiwan Higher Education Database of , a project chaired by Professor Pang Sen-ming. The factors that affect work satisfaction can be found into three major categories as personal variables, employment scenario, and university career, and they are respectively explored of relationship to work satisfaction. Using STATA as statistic software, chi-square test, and binary logit model to conduct verification and analysis of statistics, they can effectively interpret the occurrence ratio of each of the variables against work satisfaction. As found form the study, current work in relation to the department attended, salary income, working hours every week, work nature, service institute, major in university, and ranking of graduation performance are the prominent variables that affect work satisfaction. It is further discovered from previous oversea literatures that gender as a prominent factor that affects work satisfaction is not rather prominent as seen in this research result. Regarding the impact on work satisfaction for work that finds consistency to their major in school, statistic analysis using binary logit model conducted has come to the finding that graduate whose present work that is more related to their major in school would share grater work satisfaction, showing the fact the “consistency of study and practice” can render positive and direct impact on work satisfaction.

Recently Taiwan high education continuing expand and mismatch between education and occupation appear gradually. We utilize the Taiwanese Higher Education Database to search the job satisfaction influencing of mismatch between education and occupation. In a departure from much of the existing literature, we think the relative benefits between education and occupation not only getting more wage, but also expend to the non-monetary job satisfaction. In the thesis, we use both univariate and biveriate probit models to account for potential unobserved heterogeneity. Furthermore, we combine two aspects of university graduates’ talent wasted on a petty job and they don’t do well what they have learned to analyze the vertical and horizontal influence on job satisfaction. Conclusions: 1、University graduates’ talent wasted on a petty job or they don’t do well what they have learned result of negative impact in the job satisfaction. On the other words, surplus education is negatively related to job satisfaction. 2、In the individual and work variable, we find employee graduate from public collage, work in public services, working about managerial and high professional and normal professional occupation, graduation average score arrive eighty, be satisfied at majoring in course and their mothers graduate from collage or university will reduce the possibility to be overeducation employee. 3、There is potential for the univariate probit method to produce biased estimates, if as we suspect, an overlap exists between unobserved characteristics that determine both overeducation and job satisfaction. The bivariate approach offers a solution to this problem. 4、University graduates’ don’t do well what they have learned will have significant influence on job satisfaction. Therefore, it’s not complete to discuss about the influence of mismatch between education and occupation on job satisfaction through the vertical aspect merely.

Economists and social scientists are increasingly making use of web data to address socio-economic issues and to integrate existing sources of information. The data produced by online platforms and websites could produce a lot of useful and multidimensional information with a variety of potential applications in socio-economic analysis. In this respect, with the internet growth and knowledge, many aspects of job search have been transformed due to the availability of online tools for job searching, candidate searching and job matching. In European countries there is growing interest in designing and implementing real labour market information system applications for internet labour market data in order to support policy design and evaluation through evidence-based decision-making. The analysis of labour market web data could provide useful information for policy-makers to define labour market strategies as big data, jointly with official statistics, support policy makers in a pressing policy question namely “How to tackle the mismatch between jobs and skills?”. In this regard, the topic of skills gap, how to measure it and how to bridge it with education and continuous training have been tackled by using the big data collection, such as the Cedefop (European Center for the Development of Vocational Training) initiative and the Wollybi Project (made by Burning Glass). In this framework, this contribution focuses on the issues arising from the use (and the usefulness) of on-line job vacancy data to analyse the Italian labour market by using the Wollybi data available for the years 2019 and 2020. Furthermore, the availability of data for the year 2020, will allow us to evaluate whether there has been an impact of COVID19 in terms of needed skills and required occupations in the online job vacancies.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter addresses three key aspects of young people's lives: the nature of human capital development in third-level institutions; transitions from education to work; and the relative exposure to employment mismatch and separation in employment. Young people are more likely to become unemployed but are also more likely to move from unemployment to employment. With respect to the individual characteristics that influenced labour market transitions, higher levels of schooling were a key factor affecting the likelihood of exiting unemployment to enter employment. The result suggests that young people's relative exposure to job loss is particularly high during recession. In terms of within-employment mismatch, the evidence indicates that while overeducation rates in Europe are converging upwards over time, the general pattern of overeducation is linked across many countries, suggesting that the phenomenon responds in a similar way to external shocks and, consequently, is likely to also react in similar ways to appropriate policy interventions.

Full textAbstract:
The youth of India constitutes 28 percent of the Country's population and never before have there been so many young people; never again is there likely to be such potential for economic and social progress. How we meet the needs and aspirations of young people will define the common future. India as a developing Country needs to invest heavily in young people's education and health and protect their rights. The formal system of skilled workforce creation by way of Industrial Training Institutes/ Industrial schools produces only 2 percent people. It is very meager when compared to the skilled workforce of 47 percent in China and 80 percent in Japan. Livelihood opportunities are affected by supply and demand mismatch. On the supply side, India is failing to create enough job opportunities; and on the demand side, professionals entering the job market are lacking in skill sets. This results to the rising unemployment rates along with low employability issues. Skilling is the key to unlock this mismatch between the existing educational scenario and the industrial requirement.

Full textAbstract:
The debate on what should be offered by universities concerning their marketing education curricula in order to serve the market needs, specifically the employers' has been widely present in the literature. Its relevance derives from the fact that employers are one of the most important stakeholders of higher education institutions, given their responsibility in the career of graduate students. In this chapter we intend to contribute to the understanding of the state of undergraduate marketing education offered by Portuguese universities and assess whether there is a mismatch between marketing education and market needs. A better understanding of the mismatch and its implications can lead to better marketing education programs, increasing not only the acceptance and employability of students but also the transfer of innovative marketing knowledge to companies. The findings show that there is indeed a gap between what is being offered by the academia and what is requested by the job market, in terms of marketing, that could be higher than 50% of the requirements expected by employers.

This paper aims to examine determinants of education-job mismatch among youth in Kyrgyzstan. Analysis are based on the data School-to-Work Transition Survey (STWT) for 2013. Education-job mismatch is measured by the subjective and objective approach. Subjective approach is based on subjective self-reporting of youth whether their education match to their current employment requirements. Objective approach uses field of work according to the ISCO classification and then the required level of education for a certain position is compared to highest level of education. Determinants of education-job mismatch are identified according to objective measures. Bivariate discrete estimation technique is applied.

Full textAbstract:
Youth unemployment and skills mismatch constitute a challenge for Sub-Saharan African countries, including Tanzania where approximately 900,000 youth enter the job market annually. With rapid technological advancements, fostering higher technical skills for the youth becomes exigent in Tanzania on its path from an agricultural economy to a semi-industrialized country. Previous studies indicate that equipping youth with high-level skills requires endeavours beyond university campuses. In the context of Tanzania, there is a dearth of literature on university-industry collaboration (UIC) for youth higher technical skills development. This paper presents a study of Tanzania higher technical education and examines the socio-political environment for UIC with a policy review, analyses the mechanisms of existing training-focused university-industry collaborative initiatives through website discourse analysis, and provides recommendations in leveraging UIC for youth high-level skills development.

Full textAbstract:
Skills Online Sri Lanka: Libraries Reskilling Citizens to Enter the Labour Market During Covid-19 Pandemic // The economic impact of Covid-19 pandemic has led to a sharp decrease in jobs worldwide – Sri Lanka is no exception. On the one hand, Sri Lanka's labor market skills mismatch has been recognized for many years, especially in the context of high levels of unemployment among educated youth. On the other hand, the pandemic also taught us the lesson that there is a need for re-skilling people who loose employment due to the new nature of jobs and workplace environment. In response, the National Library of Sri Lanka (NLSL) decided to invest in education and training programmes to reskill and upskill job seekers entering the workforce. Together with Commonwealth of Learning and its partners the national library launched the ‘Skills Online Sri Lanka Programme – Employed for the Unemployed’ which gave the unemployed and displaced workers free access to over 10,000 short courses and certificate programs. The program indeed helped to address the impacts of COVID-19 and helped unemployed workers re-skill and re-enter the workforce. This poster shall help us to walk the audience through the journey of implementing the COL-Skills Online Sri Lanka Program, including challenges, accomplishments and achievements to date. /
