This discussion paper examines the prevalence of skill gaps among European employees, identifying key worker and firm characteristics associated with these gaps. It analyzes the correlation between skill mismatches and wage penalties, revealing that skill gaps are often linked to job complexity rather than education level. The findings challenge common perceptions about skill gaps and emphasize the need for consistent measurement approaches in policy discussions.
