Highlights
This paper aims at highlighting the overlapping between the qualification mismatch and the skills mismatch, using a specific Italian data set drawn from PIAAC survey (2012), considering that qualification match does not necessarily mean skill match
The selected methodology [4] employed a consequential approach by: a) considering qualification mismatch and skills mismatch concepts and their indicators individually; b) identifying over-qualification and under-skilling trends for the entire sampling; c) focusing on over-qualification and under-skilling trends for migrants; recognizing overlaps and trends. By using this approach we intended to associate mismatch trends with target dynamics, identifying priority groups, due to target characteristics and specific labour market conditions and, it varies across the different types of mismatch, different trends may be acknowledged
Low education level - more more likely to be likely to be under-skilled than under-skilled than graduates. The findings of these two models demonstrate how some target groups may be deeply affected by mismatch of qualifications and skills
Summary
This paper aims at highlighting the overlapping between the qualification mismatch and the skills mismatch, using a specific Italian data set drawn from PIAAC survey (2012), considering that qualification match does not necessarily mean skill match. Measuring skill mismatch is problematic, as there are not many direct information regarding skills at the workplace. Information comes from self-reported measures (correspondence of tasks performed at work) or comparing indicators of proficiency and use at work, methodologies prone to bias. PIAAC makes it possible to compare qualifications, information processing skills (literacy and numeracy) and skills required on the job, for specific target groups. The Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) is a cyclical, large-scale study, developed under the umbrella of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Adults were surveyed in 24 participating countries in 2012
