The objective of anticipation of educational needs is to promote the availability of skilled labour in accordance with developments in industrial and occupational structures and to guarantee all young people an opportunity to apply for vocationally/professionally oriented education and training.
Anticipation of demand for labour and educational needs produces information about how the education system could support goal-oriented development of the economic structure.
More precisely, over the last ten years, the anticipation issue that has gained emphasis in Finland is the demographic change; in other words, how to make the most of the competencies of diminishing young age groups to compensate for the retiring baby-boomer generation.
