High-tech companies face a shortfall of some 40m skilled workers by 2020, with businesses based in China likely to be among the worst hit, according to a study by the McKinsey Global Institute.

麦肯锡全球研究所(McKinsey Global Institute)的一项研究显示，到2020年全球高科技企业将面临约4000万技术人才缺口，位于中国的高科技企业所受打击将尤为沉重。

The institute – a research arm of the McKinsey strategy consultancy – says that manufacturing will be the sector of the global economy that will be most severely affected.

麦肯锡全球研究所指出，制造业将成为全球经济领域受技术人才缺口影响最为严重的领域。该研究所是战略咨询机构麦肯锡(McKinsey)的下属研究部门。

The specific difficulties that McKinsey foresees for China indicates that the country – which took over from the US last year as the world’s biggest manufacturing country by output – may have trouble continuing its fast rate of expansion in this sector.

麦肯锡特别预测中国将面临困境，这表明中国要想延续制造领域的快速扩张或有难度。按产量计算，中国去年超越美国成为全球第一的制造业大国。

Parts of manufacturing likely to suffer the most through the recruitment difficulties include the automotive, medical equipment and aerospace sectors.

汽车、医疗设备以及航空航天等制造业子板块受招工难的打击可能最为沉重。
