The iron and steel industry plays an important role as a supplier to many other industries on an international scale. Given the strong dependence of economies on its products, maintaining its sustainability is essential. In addition to material and energy inputs, which are the biggest problem for companies in view of the conflict in Ukraine and sanctions against Russia, it is a long-term problem for companies not only to obtain qualified and already unskilled human resources from the metallurgical sector.

The article presents a comparison of statistics on the structure of employees in metallurgical companies from EU countries.
