The future of work is influenced by major economic shifts, such as the green and digital transitions, and geopolitical tensions. Understanding and anticipating this future is an increasingly important policy area that many are seeking to address at global, regional, national and local levels.
At Cambridge Econometrics, we have decades of experience in supporting the world’s policymakers and policy shapers in identifying the impacts of policies on future jobs and labour market skills across the world. We do this through in-depth and independent quantitative economic analysis.
You may need to understand the future labour market impacts of policy incentives to adopt new technology. You may be exploring the future skills needs for transitioning to net zero in a country with high youth unemployment. Or perhaps you’re considering the employment impact on communities reliant on the fossil fuel industries as economies shift to renewable energy. In all cases, we can help.
Underpinned by robust and innovative methodologies, our team of skills anticipation experts will work with you to unpack your latest research into the short-, medium- and long-term impacts of new policies in your labour markets.
