A new report commissioned by Scale Ireland and undertaken by labour market experts, David Collings, Professor of Sustainable Business at Trinity Business School, and Dr. Shirley Kavanagh, an executive adviser and consultant specialising in talent management, workforce development, and organisational strategy has found that Ireland faces a considerable challenge to meet the future skills needs of its indigenous IT sector. How to Future Proof Ireland's Talent Supply Scale Ireland is the not-for-profit, independent representative organisation for Irish tech start-up and scaling companies. It is the biggest representative organisation for the sector with 800 members. The report which it commissioned found that notwithstanding that Ireland performs creditably in international skills comparisons surveys, we face a serious challenge to meet the skills demands of a growing tech sector. Key points raised include: Ireland performs well in producing ICT graduates, but current supply models suggest that supply will be insufficient to meet future demand. Reskilling and upskilling of employees is likely to be critical. As skills evolve some skills will reduce in importance while others will emerge or become more valuable. Organisations must invest in continuous learning, upskilling and reskilling to meet emerging skills needs. A key risk is that SMEs including indigenous tech start-ups and scaling companies are less likely to have a talent development strategy in place. It is unlikely that third level institutions alone will provide sufficient supply to meet the growing skills demands of the ICT sector. We recommend a greater focus on other routes to entry to the labour market such as apprenticeships. The sector (indigenous and multinational) is already highly reliant on migrant labour with as much as 40% of employment in the sector already undertaken by non-Irish labour. The authors point to the importance of targeted global messaging about employment opportunities and the importance of an efficient employment permit system. Barriers to international migration include high personal tax rates, cost of living, personal safety, and infrastructure, particularly housing and transport. The overall ICT sector (indigenous and multinational) may require as many as 89,590 new positions by 2030. The skills profile will be impacted by additional demand for AI and machine learning skills, network, cybersecurity and technological literacy. In calculating these growth figures, and noting the potential that some work will be automated by AI potentially reducing employment, the authors assume that any efficiencies will be supplemented by higher growth in the medium term. Indeed, while we have witnessed some disruption in the labour market with some job reductions attributed to improved productivity in the context of AI, in line with broader reports and historical trends, the analysis in the report assumes this will level out in the relatively short term. The report also suggests that attracting critical talent may pose a greater challenge to start-up and scaling companies that often lack the human resources capacity of larger firms. Sectoral level initiatives will be critical to upskilling, and bodies such as Skillnet Ireland and SOLAS are likely to play a key role in this regard. It also calls for additional inward diversity paths for the sector. Notwithstanding indicators of a strong commitment to inclusion and the empowerment of women, female employment in ICT remains relatively low. Ultimately, the report states that Ireland will be competing against other jurisdictions for skills talent and we must engage proactively to address this challenge. See more breaking stories here.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: What do we really know about growth in LMICs? (Part 1: sectoral transformation), published by Karthik Tadepalli on December 3, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. To EAs, "development economics" evokes the image of RCTs on psychotherapy or deworming. That is, after all, the closest interaction between EA and development economists. However, this characterization has prompted some pushback, in the form of the argument that all global health interventions pale in comparison to the Holy Grail: increasing economic growth in poor countries. After all, growth increases basically every measure of wellbeing on a far larger scale than any charity intervention, so it's obviously more important than any micro-intervention. Even a tiny chance of boosting growth in a large developing country will have massive expected value, more than all the GiveWell charities you can fund. The argument is compelling[1] and well-received - so why haven't "growth interventions" gone anywhere? I think the EA understanding of growth is just too abstract to yield really useful interventions that EA organizations could lobby for or implement directly. We need specific interventions to evaluate, and "lobby for general economic liberalization" won't cut it. The good news is that a large and active group of "macro-development" economists have been enhancing our understanding of growth in developing countries. They (mostly) don't run RCTs, but they still have credible research designs that can tell us important things about the causes and constraints of growth. In this series of posts, I want to lay out some stylized facts about growth in developing countries. These are claims which are backed up by the best research on this topic, and which tell us something useful about the causes and constraints of growth in developing countries. My hope is not to pitch any specific interventions, but rather to give you the lay of the land, on which you can build the case for specific interventions. The way I hope for you to read this series is with an entrepreneurial eye. "This summary suggests that X is a key bottleneck to growth; I suspect Y could help solve X at scale. I should look more into Y as a potential intervention." or "This summary says that X process helps with growth; let me brainstorm ways we could accelerate X." As part of that, an important caveat is that I will not cover topics where I believe there's no prospect for an effective intervention. For example, a large body of work emphasizes the importance of good institutions for development; I don't believe that topic will yield any promising interventions, so I won't cover it. Sectoral Transformation In this post, I will start with the fundamental path of growth: sectoral transformation. Every country that has ever gotten rich has had the following transformation: first, most of the population works in agriculture. Then, people start to move from agriculture to manufacturing, coinciding with a large increase in the country's growth rate. Finally, people move out of manufacturing and into services, coinciding with the country's growth slowing down as it matures into a rich economy. This is the process of sectoral transformation, and it is basically a universal truth of development. So it's no surprise that a big focus of macro-development is how to catalyze sectoral transformation in developing countries. 1. Agricultural productivity growth can drive sectoral transformation... or hurt it. Every economy starts out as agrarian, because everyone needs food to survive. Agricultural productivity growth allows economies to produce enough food with fewer people, so that most people can move out of agriculture. This is why the US can produce more food per person than India, even though 2% of the US workforce in agriculture compared to 45% of India's workfor...

However, this characterization has prompted some pushback, in the form of the argument that all global health interventions pale in comparison to the Holy Grail: increasing economic growth in poor countries.

[...] In an era where costs of services and goods are rising, the amount of profit or money that you have is buying less of those goods and services. That causes inflation. ~Justin  You can't compensate for inflation that you've already suffered. You can only compensate for the inflation that you're going to suffer in the future. ~Augusto  The first thing you need to do when you're in high inflation is to protect your cash flow. If you don't protect your cash flow, you run the risk of disappearing as a business. ~Augusto  People don't look at paper profit—they look at cashflow to put a value on your company; so, if you want to build a valuable company, you have to build a healthy cash flow. ~Justin  The bad thing about inflation is that even when the causes for inflation stop, the prices never go back to where they were. ~Augusto  There are two ways to drive pricing. One is the price that the market will take. The other one is cost-up. ~Augusto 

The coal power upsurge in 2021 may raise the concern that China faces more challenges on peaking its national carbon emissions before 2030. However the breakdown of electricity consumption may suggest that the downturn of economic growth, low urbanization and aging population will reduce the power demand in the near future. In addition, the slower infrastructure construction and the electrification of road transport sector may boost higher share of electricity in tertiary sector and residential area. REEI's researchers argue that peaking before 2030 might be not a big issue but achieving carbon neutral goal by the middle of this century could pose challenges.
