Sumario: Cedefop's European skills index (ESI) is a composite indicator aiming at measuring the effectiveness of Member State skills systems. Traditionally, skills systems are thought of as the means of delivering skills to a country's population. However, the role of such systems is also to ensure smooth transition from education to work and appropriate skills match in the world of work. The development of the European skills system makes measuring the performance of skills systems possible for the first time. Within the ESI framework, better performance can primarily be achieved through achieving a well-balanced skills system. Focusing only on one dimension, in contrast, may have adverse effects as it may neglect aspects that are essential for a harmonious system overall. One of the purposes of the ESI is to help identify problematic areas calling for improvement, even in cases where Member States have very good overall performance.
