Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate she has made of the proportion of jobs in the UK economy that will require a degree level education in the next 10 years.
The 2016 UKCES Working Futures publication estimates that 14.9 million jobs will become vacant between 2014 and 2024, and nearly half of these (47 per cent) will be in the occupations most likely to employ graduates (SOC 1-3; Managers, professionals and associate professionals).
