Today, I’m excited to introduce theCoursera Global Skills Report 2022, an in-depth look at the state of skills globally. The Global Skills Report draws data from 100 million learners in more than 100 countries who have used Coursera to develop a new skill during the past year. The report benchmarks three of the most in-demand skill areas driving employment in the digital economy – business, technology, and data science. For the first time, this year’s report also highlights changes in ranking for each country, and state-specific data for the U.S. and India, where regional variations are notable.
2022年的全球技能报告强调了数字转型,通货膨胀和全球不稳定的加速如何推动对新经济发展繁荣所需的数字和人类技能的需求。大力辞职和自动化正在要求对人力资本进行更强大的投资,因为机构必须优先考虑建立建立竞争性和公平劳动力所需的高需求数字和人类技能。我们的数据表明,这些技能不是平等分布的,学生和低薪工人需要访问灵活,负担得起的和快速的途径进入入门级数字工作,这为更强大,更具包容性的经济提供了基础。
Understanding the Global Skills Ranking
在《全球技能报告》中,超过100个国家的排名相反,百分位排名归因于每种技能水平。一个显示100%技能水平的国家在100多个国家中排名最高,而一个国家为0%的国家处于最底层。Coursera根据四分位数将每个小组的百分位排名分为以下四个类别:
- Cutting-edge (76% or above)
- Competitive (51% – 75%)
- Emerging (26%-50%)
- Lagging (25% or below)
Global trends in the report include:
- Entry-level or “gateway” certificate course enrollments among women reached 40% in 2021, up significantly from 25% in 2019.Certificates, such as Google IT Support and Google Data Analytics, provide a clear pathway to gain skills needed for high-demand, entry-level digital jobs. These courses require approximately 240 total learning hours, which can be completed in just six months at 10 hours per week.
- There is a strong correlation between skills proficiency, GDP, and broadband access.Wealthier countries scored higher in overall skills proficiency, matched by those with high levels of internet access.
- Developed countries saw more learners acquiring human skills including change management and resilience.发展中国家的学习者通过供应链系统和移动体系结构等课程更加专注于数字技能。
- The most popular business and technology skills globally in the last year were leadership and management, probability and statistics, and theoretical computer science.For the second year in a row, Switzerland had the highest-skilled learners followed by Denmark, Indonesia, and Belgium.
- Learners also focused on courses that develop the skills needed to understand the COVID-19 pandemic.Enrollment in courses that cover epidemiology and risk management is now four times higher than it was prior to the pandemic.
Readers can also explore country specific insights. For example, key U.S. insights from the report include:
- The U.S. remained flat in overall skills proficiency at 29th, trailing countries in Asia & Europe. Business skills proficiency rose in the U.S., with key areas like leadership and management increasing from 40% in 2021 to 67% in 2022. However, technology skills proficiency overall dropped significantly from 69% in 2021 to 43% this year. Proficiency in data science also fell sharply from 73% last year to 54% in 2022.
- U.S. learners in the Northeast, Upper Midwest, and along the Pacific Coast had the highest skills proficiency in business, while those in the South lagged behind.包括伊利诺伊州,威斯康星州和印第安纳州在内的三个中西部州在美国的业务水平中排名最高
- Idaho showed the highest levels of technology skills in the country, outpacing tech hubs like California and Massachusetts.Learners in the state also earned a perfect 100% proficiency for mobile development skills.This reflects a growth trend driven by the number of high-tech companies in the stateincreasing61% in the last decade.
- Learners in the U.S. increased focus on human skills amid rapid workforce changes.Workforce disruption caused by the pandemic and the pace of automation is forcing businesses to quickly adapt. Human skills like resilience, project management, decision making, planning, storytelling, and experiments were increasingly popular among U.S. business learners, as organizations worked to navigate change.
- The U.S. achieves greater gender parity in overall course enrollments but women still lag behind men in STEM.Theonline course去年,女性的入学率达到了其最高点(51%),持续了始于2020年的趋势。尽管STEM入学率从2019年的35%上升到2022年的42%,但女性仍在美国落后。
- The U.S. remains behind the curve in math skills.美国学习者中数学的熟练程度从2021年的56%急剧下降到2022年的40%。整个欧洲,包括德国在内的滞后国家,占81%,英国的熟练程度为78%。缅因州,华盛顿和新罕布什尔州在美国的数学水平最高,而密西西比州,路易斯安那州和田纳西州的最高水平则以最底层的命中率完成。
With over 100 million learners, 7,000+ institutions, and more than 5,000 courses from 250 of the world’s leading universities and industry educators, Coursera has one of the largest data sets for identifying and measuring skill trends.
