As the use ICT increases in the workplace, so does the need for technical skills in computer software and hardware. This increased demand for people to have ICT skills has resulted in severe deficit of technically qualified workers. The skill shortage is prominent in three areas.

First, labour migration is one of the effects of this shortage. On one hand, migration of skilled workers is beneficial in that it gives migrants the opportunity to obtain, in the destination country, good experience  and to make good money. The sending country's economy also benefits from wages sent back home. However, this "skilled migration can lead to a "brain drain" - the loss of IT qualified people in the sending country, and possibly to the lowering of wages in the receiving country.

Secondly, the large percentage of older workers in OECD countries means many workers are deficient in the new ICT skills and therefore, training these workers to update their technical skills is a important to help reduce the skills shortage. Lastly, as technology advances, so does the need for even higher technically skilled people. This creates a situation in the labour market where the gap between skilled  and unskilled workers is getting even bigger. The result is an inequality in the workforce, since unskilled workers have much less opportunity for advancement and a good salary than skilled workers.
