Labour Market Forecasting Narratives
The following four forecast narratives are projections of employment for the medium term (4 years to 2013) and the longer term (9 years to 2018). The forecast narratives indicate the challenges the labour market is likely to face in the future such as the type of skills likely to be in demand, the type of qualifications the workforce will have and the impact of retirement patterns on the future labour market. The narratives will be updated bi-annually.
