World Economic Forum: Future of Jobs Report 2025

Please find below the, recently published, World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025: These are the fastest growing and declining jobs.

Key Stats, taken from the report:

> 39% of current skill sets will transform or become outdated by 2030. Workers will need to adapt as industries evolve due to technology, climate initiatives, and demographic changes. Employers must prioritise upskilling and reskilling to bridge these gaps and maintain competitiveness.

> 50% of workers have already undergone training, reskilling, or upskilling. This increase, up from 41% in 2023, reflects growing recognition of lifelong learning. Investment in training ensures workers remain relevant in the rapidly transforming job market.

> 85% of employers plan to prioritise workforce upskilling by 2030. Businesses view skill-building as critical to transformation and addressing talent shortages. Key focus areas include AI, cybersecurity, and green skills to align with emerging industry needs.

> 70% of employers plan to hire staff with new skills, and 50% plan to transition current workers. A dual strategy combining external hiring and internal role transitions is vital for filling skill gaps. Reskilling existing employees reduces costs and ensures continuity within organisations.

> 59% of the workforce will need training by 2030. To meet future labour market demands, over half the global workforce must acquire new skills. Training initiatives must target technology, leadership, and creativity to ensure readiness for emerging roles.

> Green skills demand grew by 22% between 2022 and 2023, outpacing supply. The transition to a netzero economy is driving demand for renewable energy engineers and environmental specialists. Addressing this gap is crucial to achieving climate goals and economic sustainability.
