Abstract

The aim of the research is to contribute to the theoretical and practical measuring ICT skills shortages on the domestic labour market. Serbian ICT industry is taken as a case study. Key findings show that the country needs to ensure that its education system, policy settings and business practices are all working towards equipping the country’s workers with the required basic and new technological, digital skills. This will ensure that the Serbian workforce is wellplaced to meet the future challenges associated with digital disruption. To the usually proxied way by various measurements and concepts, while reliable and consistent data are often scarce, the efforts of the authors are built around quantitative indices or qualitative, assessment of the future needs of ICT skills of the labour market. The paper contributes to an innovative risk-based approach to identifying skills shortages and surpluses, listing ICT occupations that have been prioritized and discusses through the sector analysis the reasons underlying these mismatches and attempts that are possible to tackle them.
