This report is part of a suite of documents produced under the heading of Working Paper 2, which has been prepared for "The Skills Imperative 2035: Essential Skills for Tomorrow's Workforce" research programme. This is being led by the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER), who are working in collaboration with a number of partners, including The Institute for Employment Research (IER) at the University of Warwick and Cambridge Econometrics (CE). This report describes a set of "Baseline projections." These include an overview of macroeconomic and sectoral employment prospects as well as the implications for skills as measured by qualifications and occupation. The latter includes detailed projections to 2035 for 412 4-digit occupational categories (based on the latest Standard Occupational Classification 2020 (SOC2020) system for classifying occupations).
