Forces for change in the future labour market

In the next 10 to 15 years, the labour market in New Zealand will be shaped by a range of forces for change. These will include: big shifts in population size and composition;  continued globalisation characterised by tectonic shifts in economic power and the large-scale movement of work and workers internationally; fundamental changes in the nature of work because of new technology and innovation that will drive new skills requirements; and profound environmental and resource pressures that will affect the type of jobs we have and the way we work.
