Visualising opportunities
Higher level skills for a global economy UK Commission for Employment and Skills has calculated that the proportion of those in employment with undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications will rise from 28.7% in 2002 to 51.3% in 2022, while those employed with skills below this level will fall from 71.4% in 2002 to less than half, 48.7%. It is clear that as the economy changes universities will play an increasingly central role in developing the UK workforce. Source: UKCES (2014) Working Futures 2012 2022
