We live in a time of turbulence. There are large flows of individuals, capital and information and knowledge across the world. There are constant and rapid changes to which individuals need to adapt everyday. In such a world the abilities to process information and to be flexible will sell at a large premium, while inflexibility and ignorance are a recipe for a most likely failure. In such a world, it is important to be highly skilled. In this paper I argue that there is a skill problem in Europe and I present some basic principles that should be in the background of a human capital strategy for Europe.
