Indicators

Policy Learning Points

  • The education of the workforce needs to become a political and policy priority, and the focus needs to shift from talk to action.
  • A greater percentage of the population needs access to university education.
  • Before spending more money on education, the effectiveness of current spending should be studied.
  • Policymakers should consider investments into university research capacity to turn the country into European centers of expertise.
  • Greater incentives into commercial research and development should be developed.

Assessment

We constructed a simple model for determining country performance in every indicator and each area.
 
 Exceeding +.15 meant that the indicator or area was a competitive advantage for the country. These areas are shaded in green.
 
 Performing at +/-.15 of the European average (1.0) meant the country was competitive. These indicators or areas are shaded in blue.
 
 Falling below -.15 of the European average indicated a competitive disadvantage. These areas or indicators are marked in red.
