The Demand for STEM Graduates: some benchmark projections

Rob Wilson

 

It comes from a raft of organisations, including DIUS, but I hope that will not rule it out. The work was done by the Warwick Institute for Employment Research at the University of Warwick.

 

It sits on the CIHE web site:

It might be worth wandering around the CIHE’s other documents.

 

This one, for example:

One area where there has been more work on “skills needs” than most is in the need for qualified people in the nuclear energy industry, which some might see as the most “sustainable” energy option around.

 

The OECD is often a good source of statistical data like this. But you may need to work somewhere with an OECD account to get at some of the reports.

This report may be only of comparative use but there has been some work done in Australia on "Growing the green collar economy"

Subject: [PSCI-COM] Future Demand for Low Carbon Jobs/Skills

Greetings Y’all!

Can anyone point me in the direction of some up to date, independent (meaning non-governmental) research into sustainable development / low carbon jobs, and the projected demands for these jobs. I have been through pretty much all the government and party reports, research etc, and frankly I am reluctant to trust the figures quoted! Is there any current data on jobs / skills requirements or any research focused on employer demands in different sectors with regard to sustainable development?

I know (hope) that someone will come through for me so thanks to you in advance!!

Cheers

Oli
