Demand vs Supply

Summary Skills shortages constraining growth Strong demand for higher skilled, STEM professional occupations, with forecast growth in new jobs also focussed on these areas High levels of replacement demand, more at mid and lower level occupations Automation already happening, and effecting a range of different sectors and occupations – but also creating new employment opportunities Future increasingly uncertain – but a number of core skills that will be vital and unlikely to be able to be automated Significant imbalance between future supply and expected demand
