16. 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
