Anticipating and building skills for the future is essential to a rapidly changing labour market. This applies to changes in the types and levels of skills needed as well as in occupational and technical areas. Effective methods to anticipate future skills needs and avoid potential mismatches include: sustained dialogue between employers and trainers, coordination across government institutions, labour market information systems, employment services and performance reviews of training institutions.

The number of young people aged 25-34 with a tertiary qualification increased by nearly 45% between 2005 and 2013 in OECD and G20 countries and is expected to keep increasing in the coming decade. While, on average, only 14% of the young people in OECD and G20 countries had a tertiary qualification in 2005, more than 45% are expected to have a tertiary qualification in 2030 if the growth of the past decade is sustained.

This analysis sustains that non-OECD G20 countries (Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, the Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia and South Africa) have been the main drivers of the global growth in the past decade. While in 2005 OECD countries represented 60% of the 94 million young people with tertiary education, by 2013 non-OECD G20 countries had closed the attainment gap and by 2030 the picture is expected to reverse completely: 70% of young people with tertiary education will come from non-OECD G20 countries.
