We're in the middle of it.i think, anecdotally, there are too many companies trying to spread themselves too thin. Because of this, there aren't enough people to do all the jobs that are needed. I think we are needing another industrial revolution/computerisation moment to increase productivity to more sustainable levels.
Women generally work fewer hours than men so as the healthcare sector becomes more female dominated we need more people to get the same hourly output. A large proportion of nurses work part time.

That's down to high childcare costs, high marginal income tax rates and a relatively wealthy older group who have the luxury of being able to make work life choices. That, along massively increasing demand coupled with gross structural inefficiency and people with an abundance of medical and healthcare skills and experience being promoted into management roles for which they are unskilled, untrained and unsuited makes healthcare a particularly difficult sector to staff globally.Look at healthcare - not enough nurses/doctors/staff available to fill post
Same cause.teaching - same problem.
People, both men and women, are generally working fewer hours than they were pre-pandemic. That's the problem. Sectors where there was a problem before are worse now.Private companies- how many are running on fumes (staff wise)? Lots of unpaid overtime is propping up these companies.
We need to loosen up the rules with regards to allowing foreign students and asylum seekers work.
We also need to tackle the long term problem, with regards to those claiming long term unemployment benefits, as some could certainly work.
They are already allowed to work when they've been here a few months. Who do you think cleans the excrement off the old people in care homes, work as home helps and does all the jobs Irish people won't do?Maybe foreign students...but really they will only work in service or entry level jobs. Asylum seekers should only be allowed work once they've been granted asylum.....but thats a whole other conversation.
Probably more than that on disability.There are 35,000 construction workers on the Live Register.
They are mostly on work permits predominantly from Brazil and the Philippines, that's completely separate to the asylum system, I know the government love to conflate the two . Most asylum seekers end up in low level roles in hospitality as that's where they have the connections, I bet very few are working in construction building houses or as nurses or doctors because they can get a work visa for thatThey are already allowed to work when they've been here a few months.

I know of a few who are working in nursing homes and my neighbours carer is an asylum seeker from Nigeria.

They have to be processed and, I presume, issued with a PPS number. Those two steps will take months.Having to wait five months is insane - anyone who wants to work, contribute to the economy and better themselves, should be allowed to do so, without a five month delay.

On the list of things the State Sector provides that take too long and are inefficient this is well down the page. Why would anyone think that this bit would be done efficiently when so many other things are done badly?... But they shouldn't!
It would be very simple to authorise someone to work in the PAYE sector, if anyone was of a mind to change things. Instead, we have the usual nonsense....and there is only one way that will change... if we force it to change, instead of almost accepting it, as you appear to (and I hope you are able to tell me that I'm wrong!)I suspect it is difficult to issue a PPSN to a person who has deliberately destroyed their travel documents, and withheld information on their identity.
Those people should not be processed at all. They should be held in detention centres until they can produce their documents. If they can't produce them they should not be let out. Ever. Nobody, absolutely nobody, should be eligible for an IPO application if they do not have a passport or identity card.I suspect it is difficult to issue a PPSN to a person who has deliberately destroyed their travel documents, and withheld information on their identity.

They used to hand out PPSNs like smarties, that created 'other issues'.... But they shouldn't!
