Brazil went up in technology`s ranking but shortage of skilled labour worries.

     This report was published at BBCBrasil.com at 27/09/2011. It is a summary and the title is above. Translation by me.
   
     Brazil advanced in the sector of information`s technology ( IT ), but could have grown more if were not the bureaucracy and deficit of the specialists, says a ranking made by Economist Intelligent Unit.
     The growth of the Brazilian pontuation in the category ¨ research and development ( R&D )¨ was the main responsible for the Brazilian evolution, that now is 39ยบ, however, remained stagnated in the category ¨quality of  technological skills¨, creating fears about the shortage of  professionals to meet the demand.
     It is estimated that there are 90,000 vacancies no fulfilled in this sector.
     Progress in the category ¨infrastructure of I.T.¨ , also brings advance, like the enlargement of cellular telephony, which penetration goes over 100%. On the other hand, the slow pace of the broadband expansion is mentioned like a negative aspect.
