The European Union is expected to fall short of its 2030 Digital Decade goal for technology employment, according to a report by Eurofound, the EU’s research agency. The target is to have 20 million people employed as information and communications technology (ICT) specialists across the EU by 2030. Eurofound’s analysis indicates Europe will likely be about five million ICT specialists short of that figure, meaning the region is not on track to meet the planned workforce level by the deadline.
