More than a third of Europeans are faced with serious obstacles to social mobility, which leads to lower levels of employment, less productive work and lower career growth than people from richer means.
As the European population and companies need new skills, the number of available qualified employees becomes quickly insufficient.
According to study From McKinsey, improving social mobility can increase the GDP of European countries by 3% to 9% and collect the expected shortage of skills by 2030 without new formation or validity.
“Social mobility is not just the next step in turning on. This is a strategic imperative for the long -term competitiveness of Europe, ”the report will say.
The investigation analyzed the data (accessible to the public and unpublished) from the investigation of the labor force of the Eurostat Eurostat in order to better understand the socio -economic origin of Europeans and asked more than 3,000 British, German and Italian workers from various socio -economic origin.
Out of labor market
Employees of more disadvantaged socio -economic media (9.4%) have a higher level of unemployment than rich means (5.3%). The periods of its unemployment also last, on average, at least five months more than that of people with the richest means.
The causes of unemployment are also significantly different. Compared to their pairs of high socio -economic tools, workers of disadvantaged socio -economic tools are more likely to be fired and are less likely to leave their work for the reasons for education or training -usually associated with career growth.
Increasing the employment level of these employees in order to compare their colleagues with a large income, 2.1 million people can be added to the active population.
Assuming that each additional person brings 74,692 euros of additional economic value, the influence on the GDP of Europe will be an increase of about 160 billion euros.
Search and delivery change
Nevertheless, European companies are faced with a lack of a crisis of skills, which shows signs of intensification.
Twenty now European countries register significant restrictions on talents, and the indicators of the proposal of jobs increase to 50% from 2020.
These problems are especially emphasized in the construction sectors, residence and restoration services and highly qualified professional, scientific and technical fields.
Workers of more disadvantaged socio -economic media also have a lesser probability of highly qualified work than people with similar qualifications from richer means.
McKinsey investigators concluded that the adjustment of the combination of the competencies of workplaces that are in the unfavorable position of socio -economic media will strive to correspond to the corresponding use of their richest peers with the same level of education that can increase GDP by another 590 billion euros.
Workers with a low socio -economic level often advance more slowly in their career than their richest colleagues, even in similar works.
If your career pace of progression was accelerated in accordance with your analogues, the result will be 44% of the increase in cost creation for workers with high qualification work and 13% for workers with average qualifications.
This would add 570 billion euros to the joint GDP of Europe.
