Doing so will involve creating mechanisms by which job-seekers can develop the right skills and find employers who will hire them, employers can find the employees they need, and the government can create an enabling environment in which the best matches between job-seekers and employers can be made. The study estimates the likely number and education levels of new job-seekers through 2020. It conducts an original, scientific survey to learn about employer perceptions of skill gaps in the KRI. Then, it investigates sectoral employment growth in comparison economies to identify promising growth sectors. Finally, it outlines policy steps for the government to take to improve the functioning of the private-sector labor market. 606 $aLabor market$zIraq$zKurdista?n$vStatistics 606 $aEconomic surveys$zIraq$zKurdista?n$vStatistics 606 $aEmployment forecasting$zIraq$zKurdista?n 606 $aManpower policy$zIraq$zKurdista?n 606 $aEconomic surveys$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00902099 606 $aEmployment forecasting$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00909353 606 $aLabor market$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00990036 606 $aManpower policy$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01007897 607 $aIraq$zKurdista?n$2fast 608 $aStatistics.$2fast 615 0$aLabor market 615 0$aEconomic surveys 615 0$aEmployment forecasting 615 0$aManpower policy 615 7$aEconomic surveys. 615 7$aEmployment forecasting. 615 7$aLabor market. 615 7$aManpower policy. 676 $a331.1209567/2 700 $aShatz$b Howard J.$0935274 702 $aConstant$b Louay 702 $aLuoto$b Jill 702 $aSmith$b Alexandria C. 702 $aAbramzon$b Shmuel 712 02$aKurdista?n (Iraq).$bH?iku?meti?
