Incompetence is the inability to perform expected tasks or duties. More generally, it is a term that indicates the ineffectiveness of a subject or system in relation to its universe. It can have several meanings: social, economic, systemic and even in nature. It is the opposite of competence which is being skilled or capable of something, or the opposite of the concept of competitiveness.
