The title is a bit misleading because the article says the shortage is about to increase dramatically again in the future, due to a lack of MINT skills in younger generations and an aging population. Also imo there is more than enough to do in this sector in Germany. Might therefore be rather the economic environment than some fundamental reversal.
- torlok 10mo agoThey're talking about child education with regards to "about to increase". "Soon" for a researcher is not "soon" for a worker.
- slow_typist 10mo agoMore than enough to do for sure. But first someone would need to make a few decisions and the people in charge aren’t seasoned systems architects. Same is true for most of the people who do consulting or have any influence on politics, be it public or within a corporation.
- lnfromx 10mo agoSo you mean it could get worse just due to indecision or lack of knowledge. Interesting thought, I can see that.
- slow_typist 10mo agoBTW for non German HNers: MINT is „Mathematik Informatik Naturwissenschaften Technik“, an acronym comparable but not equivalent to STEM.
