Description: This study brings together multiple perspectives - economics, sociology, management, psychology, and political science - to present an original framework for understanding skills, skilled work, and surrounding policies. Focusing on common themes across countries, it establishes the concept and measurement of skill, and investigates the role of employers, workers, and other social actors. It considers a variety of skill problems and how a social response from the government can be understood.
