It suggests that if current trends run a steady path, in 2030 the UK workforce will be multigenerational, older, and more international, with women playing a stronger role. Moreover, technological growth, and the accompanying changes in business models, will make the continuous adaptation of skill sets absolutely fundamental for successful participation in the labour market.
