70,000 people missing in the tech industry in 2024

Digital facts Skills supply
The tech sector has long faced labor shortages and despite the pandemic, the need for skills remains high.

The industry is warning of an expected shortfall of 70,000 people by 2024 unless strong action is taken. This is according to the IT&Telecom companies' report "IT skills shortage" released last December.

The "IT skills shortage" is the IT&Telecom companies' fourth survey of skills shortages in the digital sector, and shows that the challenges reported in 2012, 2015 and 2017 respectively largely persist. According to the 2020 report, skills shortages are found in areas such as systems development, artificial intelligence (AI), IT security, usability design, game development and 5G technology.

In the report, IT&Telecom companies call for several initiatives to get more people interested in, trained for, and moving into jobs in the tech sector.
