Resumen

El objetivo principal de este estudio es examinar los patrones de desajustes de cualificación y de habilidades entre países utilizando datos de la Encuesta Europea de Habilidades y Empleos para 28 países de la UE. Al evaluar la incidencia de ambos tipos de desajustes, encontramos que el más frecuente es el exceso de cualificación y habilidades. El análisis de los factores determinantes de dichos desajustes por exceso de cualificación y habilidades muestra que vale la pena explorar los desajustes de cualificaciones y habilidades por separado, ya que están asociados con diferentes perfiles de trabajadores, con diferentes características de trabajo y con diferentes características agregadas de país. Finalmente, determinamos que la contribución de las variables que recogen las características del país a nivel agregado es crucial para el caso de la sobrecualificación, y tan importante como la contribución de las características individuales y laborales para el exceso de habilidades.
