Canadian Vocational Association / Association canadienne de la formation professionnelle's insight:
With government aware that the UK economy has relatively low skill levels compared to other OECD countries, boosting the supply of skills has long dominated UK economic policy. New thinking rejects static notions of equilibria and centres on the concept of 'skill ecosystems', which are akin to dynamic living organisms with interconnected parts, actions and needs. In this chapter, the authors outline this shift in thinking and indicate how the concept has been lost in its translation into policy initiatives. They then re-present the concept so that understanding of it and its relevance to the new economic thinking is clearer.
