Zusammenfassung:The paper explains how a country can fall into a "low-skill, bad-job trap," in which workers acquire insufficient training and firms provide insufficient skilled vacancies.

In this context, the paper examines the need and effectiveness of training policy, and provides a possible explanation for why western countries have responded so differently to the broad-based shift in labor demand from unskilled to skilled labor
