里面P3的Occupation trends提到:
Skill shortages
Shortages have been evident for specialist skills over most of the past decade (except in 2001, 2003 and 2004) but the number of skills in shortage has varied. Fourteen specialist ICT skills were assessed as being in shortage in 2008 but in 2009 there were only 2.
Summary
Occupational supply from higher education has declined over recent years, raising concern that new supply to this occupation may not be sufficient to support economic growth and offset attrition1. While the supply of suitable candidates for ICT Professional occupations appears adequate, the declining supply of domestic graduates in the field of Information Technology indicates a potential constraint to economic growth in the future.
不是需求剧减,而是担心不足(当然,这只是针对Occupational supply from higher education而言)。表面上来看供应充足,但本地供应的下降,将制约着未来的经济发展。
