<p>This chapter provides a comparative summary and analysis of the key findings in this book. It reveals both similarities and differences in how critical skills shortages (CSS) is recognised, the nature of the challenges of CSS in the diverse countries included from the Asia-Pacific and Indian Ocean regions, and the plethora of government and private sector strategies, policies, and plans adopted in response to these challenges. The issue of CSS presents a particular dilemma due to the divide in terms of the inflow and outflow of labour between developed and developing countries. The country case studies in this volume suggest that more resources and efforts will be needed to address the multifaceted challenges of CSS. A series of practical suggestions are included for all stakeholders involved in mitigating or minimising CSS to consider in their attempts to address SDGs.</p>
