The document discusses the growing skills gap between the skills needed by employers and the skills possessed by the current and future workforce. It notes that 100% of net new jobs in Europe in the past 5 years came from companies less than 5 years old, and that only 40% of the 1 billion young people entering the workforce in the next decade will find jobs that currently exist. It also provides statistics on the large number of science, engineering, and technology jobs expected to be needed that currently do not have enough qualified applicants. The document advocates for providing better labor market information and work experience opportunities to secondary students to help address this growing skills gap.

Net New Jobs created in Europe in the past 5 years were from companies less than 5 years old….

‘what will you do when you grow up when
40 % of the jobs that they will aspire to have not been
created yet and 100% of the net jobs come from
companies less than 5 years old…?

Recent reports from the US, EU and other leading economies have demonstrated that in aggregate young companies have been responsible for 100 per cent of net new job creation. The OEC D has conducted a detailed study across 18 countries
analysing the link between the dynamic of business growth (as measured by
employment) and economic growth. This found that companies which have been
in existence more than five years, in aggregate, reduced employment every year
between 2001 and 2011; whereas, companies which were less than five years old
were, in aggregate, net job creators in each of these years.24

Kauffman report reported that the average age of the 500 fastest growing companies in the US was 40.
This is also the percentage of the US GDP that is generated by companies that did not exist 30 years ago….
And it is the approximate average age of the presenters here today….
