Employment, Skills & Education
The landscape of work has changed dramatically in the past 25
years, from a 9 to 5 culture and 'jobs for life' to new ways of
working, less job security and consequently, a greater emphasis on
training and retraining. Through a wide range of studies, we have
tracked and analysed the evolution of the labour market in
Britain.
We also conduct a substantial number of studies relating to
education and skills, ranging from studies of young people in
education and evaluations of school-based initiatives, to studies
of adult learning. We have particularly focused on the relationship
between education, training and employment which links in to our
research into the labour market
