Most occupations demand a variety of socioemotional skills, while the demand for cognitive and technical skills focuses on one or two skills. Cognitive and socioemotional skills appear as complementary: they are demanded similarly for a given occupation. Overall, online job vacancies are an informative complement to traditional sources to assess skills in demand. 2019-06-14T18:45:35Z 2019-06-14T18:45:35Z 2019-05 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/344171559904342136/What-Employers-Actually-Want-Skills-in-Demand-in-Online-Job-Vacancies-in-Ukraine http://hdl.handle.net/10986/31884 English Social Protection and Jobs Discussion Paper;No. 1932 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Working Paper Europe and Central Asia Ukraine
