The Global Talent Competitiveness Index

This means not only attracting them but also making them decide to remain and work in the country for a long period. The report is based on an annual study performed to monitor development in a number of countries. Two types of employee skills are measured: average/technical skills and high-end skills, ideal for entrepreneurship activities and innovation.
