Possible New Careers Emerging from Advances in Science and Technology (2010 – 2030) Final Report.

BACKGROUND

The purpose of the study conducted by the authors was to highlight examples of the kinds of jobs, careers and professions that could result from advances in science and technology in the period from 2010 to 2030.

The report was commissioned as part of the Science: [So what? So everything <http://www.npl.co.uk/educate-explore/science-so-what-so-everything/> ] campaign which aims to promote public interest in science and engineering and highlight their importance to the UK‘s future. Science: (So what? So everything) is funded by the Department for Business Innovation and Skills and supported by a wide range of individuals and organisations.

The aim was to identify a sample of key science and technology trends and developments that could occur over the next twenty years and create a timeline highlighting when such developments may come to maturity.

A process of consultation was used to identify an initial long list of future jobs from which twenty were selected and profiled. These profiles formed the basis of an online survey.

The survey focused on assessing the popularity, job impact, environmental impact, educational benefits, developing country benefits, financial rewards and attractiveness of the twenty jobs. The survey attracted 486 responses from 58 countries on 6 continents - including 104 from the UK - representing 21% of the total sample.

This report covers:

The world in 2030

The science and technology horizon - key trends

The shape of jobs to come - key implications

Global survey findings

Conclusions and recommendations

The science and technology timeline 2010 - 2030

If you are in business, then understanding the implications of this report could be vital to the future survival of your business. Yes it is a report that was done in the UK, but the future will be pretty much the same for all of us.

Well worth reading and digesting.
