Growth Through People: summary

Details

This report defines the significant issues facing skills and employment in the UK, and sets out key recommendations on how to resolve them.

The report is also supported by the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) and the Trades Union Congress (TUC). Together with UKCES, these bodies support a call to take action to boost productivity, wages and social mobility.

The publication draws on a vast array of robust, comprehensive intelligence on the UK labour market, compiled by UKCES, and distils the action needed to resolve deep-rooted issues into five key priorities.
