Sharrock, C., Chabane, S., (2015) International comparative analysis of skills planning indicator systems.

It has been established that the analysis of labour market information does not occur in a vacuum. South Africa has its own history of the use of indicators for supporting skills planning and that context needs to be used as a lens in order to assess the international examples that are presented.This report is one of a number of inputs into a broader selection process to determine the optimal
set of indicators for the South African context. The selection of indicators in use within any labour market reflects the local policy priorities where the
indicators will be applied. The focus of this study was, therefore, to consider the indicator systems as the primary point of attention rather than how
comparable the parent country is with South Africa.
