Details
These projections consider the future size and shape of the labour market nationally and across local areas by:
- industry
- occupation
- qualification level
- gender
- employment status
They form part of The Skills Imperative 2035 research programme, led by the National Foundation for Educational Research and funded by the Nuffield Foundation. The Department for Education (DfE) has funded the subregional analyses as an extension to this project.
The projections are not precise predictions but represent the most likely trajectory of labour market change.
DfE previously published projections for 2017 to 2027.
