Nearly half of young workers surveyed in Western countries said their education did not prepare them to do their jobs.
The skills gap is especially pronounced in Europe, according to a poll of 9,000 16 to 25-year-olds in nine of the world’s biggest nations commissioned by Indian business and software services firm Infosys.
Almost 80 percent globally said they had to learn new skills not taught them in school and that rapid technology change, the threat of being overtaken by robots or smart systems, required constant learning of fresh skills to compensate.
