Call for evidence: Analysis on Demand for STEM skills
Launch date: 24 June 2008
Closing date: 1 September 2008
Date of response: 20 January 2009
Consultation
The "Innovation Nation" white paper committed DIUS to develop a better understanding of the demand for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) skills from different sectors of the economy, the need for different STEM specialisms, and the level of skills needed.
This report is the outcome of a programme of analysis to develop a view on the UK's future needs for STEM skills. The report looks at issues relating to the current and future demand and supply for STEM skills, including:
- The current labour market position of people with STEM qualifications, in terms of their earnings and occupations or industries they work in;
- The current and prospective supply of STEM qualifications, and how students progress from level to level;
- Employer views of the value of STEM skills, and how this varies across STEM disciplines and by level of qualification;
- The feasibility of constructing projections or modelling scenarios of future demand or employment patterns for those with STEM qualifications.
Consultation
A call for evidence for relevant analysis or comments on this programme ended on 1st September 2008.
