"While Asia and the Pacific accounts for almost half of global unemployment, 45% of employers in the region face difficulty in finding suitable talent in their markets,” said Bindu Lohani, ADB’s Vice President for Knowledge Management and Sustainable Development. “Countries in Asia will not be able to create sufficient employment unless they address the serious skills mismatches that exist in their labor markets.”
