ICT represent 3.7% of all jobs created in the European Union. A number that, according to Eurostat, has increased in recent years, gaining share in total EU employment.
Despite the utmost importance that the technological area has won, “about 40% of companies with at least ten people, who tried to recruit people in ICT, had difficulty filling vacancies “
But the sector has an advantage over the other:. employs people with high education and more half (56.5%) of industry experts have higher education.
In any case, gender differences are high. And this profession, says the European office, remains “largely occupied by men,” which in 2014 accounted for eight out of ten accounted jobs. In Portugal the difference is even greater: 86.4% of ICT specialists were men. Worse, even if only in Luxembourg (89.2%), Cyprus (88.1%) and the Netherlands (87.4%).
What are the most qualified countries in ICT?
Finland, which has a strong school in the area, especially after the golden years of Nokia and in 2014, remained as the country with the highest percentage of experts in this sector compared to other: they represented 6.7% (163 000 people), against 1.3% of the lowest of all technological country, Greece.
Portugal in 2014 registered a total of 111,000 jobs (2.5% of total jobs in the country). The value is still below the EU average (3.7%), but increased strongly compared to 2011. In the year that the troika arrived in Portugal weighed only 1.4%.
This leads to that Portugal is, together with Germany, Belgium, Finland, France and Luxembourg, among the “notable” increases the Eurostat showed. And total increases generated in the EU-28, told in three years 1.2 million experts in this sector.
