Abstract

In actual challenging environment, progress and growth is more than an economic issue and it involve human capital, development of human resources in terms of knowledge, skills, and competences. The workforce offer and demand is not sufficient to make progress but we need a concept that bring together skills, competency, jobs and productivity that drive economic growth. From the perspective of this paper, we deal with job mismatch as a qualitative imbalance that occurs when the characteristics of workers (level of education, qualification, skills) are not in direct relation with the work requirements, with accent on education requirements. I present some analytical highlights on education-job mismatch at European level and in Romania. Education requirements of jobs vary across countries. In Romania, almost 60% of adult employees, consider medium level of qualification is sufficient to do the job. Remarcable is that the procent is the highest amoung all responders from European countries. The subject have great importance to improve the matching as equilibrium between educational offer for developing skills, competences, knowledge with occupational requirements coming from changing business environment.
