Where will the jobs be?
Here are a few questions which you may get asked by customers. We can’t predict what will happen with the labour market using a crystal ball however we can have a bit of an idea through key themes that we know are influencing the labour market
Takes a long time for things to happen….

13. Ageing population
Ageing population is the first of these themes. We know that it is happening and we can have an educated guess as to how it may affect the labour market. Some of the reasons the population is ageing include
People are having less children and living longer,
Baby boomers – reaching retirement

14. Ageing population- implications for the labour market
People are working longer
Greater social care and health resources required to look after the elderly
More people staying at home for longer rather than going into establishments such as nursing homes
People retiring – leaves a skills gap
Special knowledge and skills associated with age-related ill-health and disabilities, such as dealing with dementia, visual and/or auditory impairment
Providing services for people in retirement
The fact that we have an ageing population is something that is impacting on the labour market today and will continue to do so
These statistics show just how big this issue is!
Increase in state pension age – people working longer
Design of built environment – accessible
Occupational Therapists to support elderly e.g. stairlifts

16. Digital and Technology
Changes in technology are also influencing the labour market.

17. New Technologies As technologies develop, there are changes in the type of work
While jobs in some areas disappear- new jobs appear
Cyber Security
There are 1.5 million cyber crime victims each day (GCHQ)
On average, there were just under 7,000 advertised positions for Cyber Security positions posted in the UK throughout the last year an increase of 18% on the previous year and 103% on the level five years earlier. (The Techpartnership)
Roles related include: Cyber Security Analyst; Capability Developer & Technical Analyst

20. Environmental Issues
Influenced by governmental policies e.g. ban on all new petrol and diesel cars by 2040
Changes will affect jobs at a number of levels e.g. maintenance, construction, manufacturing and installation of new technologies
Environmental issues are another key theme changing the labour market. This is quite often influenced by government policy. Nissan note production. Often learn new skills rather than whole new careers eg clean room technologies. Not only do we have to make things more energy efficient for the benefit of the planet, to prevent global warming – we also have limited ammounts of fossil fuels remaining meaning that we need to find new ways of power.
