Working Futures 2004-2014 updates and extends the previous Working Futures projections for 2002 to 2012 which were also compiled by IER and published in 2003. Working Futures 2004-2014 supersedes these previous projections.

Working Futures 2004-2014 presents historic and future employment projections for the period 2004 to 2014 separately for men and women by employment status - full-time employment, part-time employment and self-employment. Occupational projections are also available by the nine major and 25 sub-major groups of the SOC2000 occupational classification. All of the Working Futures 2004-2014 employment projections are available for a number of different spatial and sectoral aggregations. The level of disaggregation available makes Working Futures the most detailed set of
employment projections ever produced for the UK.

The Working Futures 2004-2014 projections are based on the forecasts from the Cambridge Econometrics (CE) regional multi-sectoral dynamic macroeconomic model (RMDM). This provides the general economic scenario. The employment and output forecasts from this model are combined with additional models developed by IER to generate the occupational projections.
