This document from the UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES) looks at progress over the last decade in improving the skills of the workforce within the UK. It assesses qualification trends and projections to 2020 and looks at the impact of migration, retirement ages and gender differences. The report also examines differences in qualifications between the four nations of the UK and between regions, and then compares UK trends to 32 other countries.

This report is the first in a series of publications on international skills projections.
