This gap cannot be closed overnight, but countries that do nothing to overcome it could very well fall behind. Widening the talent pipeline sufficiently will require a generational commitment to teaching math and science, providing technical training, and mentoring young people of all backgrounds so they understand the full range of possibilities that a career in technology affords.
这一缺口不可能一夜之间填上，但对此视而不见的国家极有可能会落于人后。充分扩展人才渠道需要一整代人致力于教授数学和科学、提供技术训练、指导背景各异的年轻人以使他们充分理解技术岗位所能提供的无限可能。
