The following seven components are given equal weighting when calculating the overall score for each market. Each component measures how much pressure different factors are exerting on the local labour market. Higher scores mean that country is experiencing more pressure than has historically been the case. Lower scores mean that country is experiencing less pressure than has historically been the case.
The Hays Global Skills Index began measuring pressures in labour markets across the globe in 2012 and has continued to do so on an annual basis. Please visit our archive to explore previous editions;
