Skills for the 21st century

A forthcoming LRD booklet, Skills for work, examines the skills challenges that the fourth industrial revolution poses for the UK economy and how unions are responding.

The TUC says that with automation and new technology changing the way many work, millions will need the chance to reskill over the next 20 years.

The guide looks at the scale of the learning and skills crisis being faced due to the challenge set by automation, and how unions are tackling the rapid changes.

A central development driving change is the effect of the climate crisis and growing environmental awareness on the economy.
