The UK labour market is undergoing a profound transformation, shaped by three converging megatrends: technological advancement, the transition to a net-zero economy and demographic change. These forces are redefining the nature of work, the skills in demand, and the distribution of opportunities across sectors and regions. While these shifts pose risks – particularly for lower-skilled and older workers – they also offer the potential for more fulfilling, higher-quality employment if supported by inclusive and forward-looking policies. This report calls for a coordinated approach to skills development that supports individuals throughout their lives, aligns with industrial strategy, and ensures equitable access to opportunity.
