Der Arbeitskräftebedarf in Deutschland 2006 bis 2011 ebook

The topic of skilled labour requirements is discussed intensively and controversially in sciences and in public. The publication analyses the labour force requirements of companies and attempts to identify current shortage trends on the labour market. Initially, the development of company and employment structures as well as of vacancies is presented in relation to various partial employment markets. Furthermore, the different indicators providing clues for labour force shortages are discussed. Overall, the results show that currently there is no general, extensive shortage of skilled labour in Germany. However, there are trends visible in certain professions, areas and sectors where the shortages have increased. This applies, for example, to professions in the health care system, the social care system and the electrical sector. As for local divergences, the skilled labour shortages are most likely in the Southern German states, whilst the comparison of sectors suggests that above all the individual service providing sectors seem to experience shortages.
