Skills Task Force Research Group
Foreword
The Secretary of State for Education and Employment established the Skills Task Force to assist him in developing a National Skills Agenda. The Task Force has been asked to provide advice on the nature, extent and pattern of skill needs and shortages (together with associated recruitment difficulties), how these are likely to change in the future and what can be done to ease such problems. The Task Force is due to present its final report in Spring 2000.
The Task Force has taken several initiatives to provide evidence which can inform its deliberations on these issues. This has missioning a substantial programme of new research, holding consultation events, inviting presentations to the Task Force and setting up an academic prising leading academics and researchers in the field of labour market studies. Members of this group missioned to produce papers which review and evaluate the existing literature in a number of skills-related areas. The papers were peer-reviewed by the whole group before being considered by members of the Task Force, and others, at appropriate events.
This paper is one of the series which have missioned. The Task Force es the paper as a useful contribution to the evidence which it has been possible to consider and is pleased to publish it as part of its mitment to making evidence widely available.
However, it should be noted that the views expressed and any mendations made within the paper are those of the individual authors only. Publication does not necessarily mean that either the Skills Task Force or DfEE endorse the views expressed.
