Despite the 2008-2009 economic crisis, countries across Latin America continue to grow rapidly, driven by commodity booms and the growth of mining, petroleum and forestry sectors.

This report examines how this demand may be met regionally by analyzing the supply, quality and cost of engineers in five key countries: Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru and the United States.
