methodological challenges in e-skills shortage research in south africa
This paper is situated within the context of the challenges related to the processes currently being undertaken in South Africa by the government to stimulate e-Skills capacity. The paper reports on findings of a systematic textual examination of existing ICT skills shortage research reports. Acknowledging the shortcoming of existing e-skills categories in a diverse, ever-changing ICT environment as well as the complexity of determining supply and demand for ICT skills, it is found that existing research on these matters in a South African context is difficult to interpret, not comprehensive enough and often not credible.
