While differences in competences other than information-processing skills may underlie some of these patterns, the results suggest that skills policies will be more effective in narrowing wage gaps between certain socio-demographic groups than others. To prevent rising wage inequality, investments in skills that are in high demand are particularly important. This finding underlines the importance for countries to assess current and future skills needs and to make sure that their education and training systems are responsive to changing skills needs. The chapter also highlights the need to make better use of skills at work, which takes the policy discussion to the heart of what goes on in the workplace: the role of leadership and management, how work is organised, job design, internal mobility, and personnel and recruitment policies more generally.
