The shortage of skilled workers in rural regions
The shortage of skilled workers is an urgent issue that has hit companies in the surprise country. Rural areas are particularly hard hit by this. An analysis shows that rural regions have a higher vacancy rate than their urban counterparts. Demand for skilled workers has increased due to an ongoing labor market boom, but cities appear to be finding suitable candidates more quickly. Demographic change further adds to the complexity of the situation, as stated in the report by Economic service is shown.
Demographic change is having a clear impact as more and more employed people leave the labor market. Occupations in nursing, plumbing and the metal and electrical industries in particular are particularly affected. Forecasts suggest that rural areas will continue to face labor force declines, often accompanied by higher vacancies. Suggestions to overcome this problem include promoting labor market participation among older workers and targeted training.
A ray of hope for the Rhein-Hunsrück district is the “Promised Land” campaign, which not only provides career access but also focuses on quality of life. Teleworking could also help to improve the job situation in rural regions by opening up new employment potential. Given these challenges, it is even more important to support the educational infrastructure in order to secure the need for skilled workers in the long term.
