The Future of Work research commissioned by The UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES) looks ahead to the labour market of 2030. It analyses stable trends that are already shaping the future of UK jobs and skills and identifies the plausible disruptions to these trends. It plots four anticipated scenarios of what the UK’s work landscape might look like in 2030, and importantly, the skills that will be required under these conditions.

The full report of the study with the scenarios and the key findings report are available at www.ukces.org.uk/thefutureofwork.
