Predicting the Future
A quick self-assessment exercise. Which of the following statements apply to you?
Do you currently work in a paperless office?
Really?
You are either being less then generous with the actuality or you are the exception that proves the rule. It wasn't so very long ago that these were two common predictions of life in the year 2000 - for most of us they never came to pass - maybe predicting the future is for many a lot harder than we think
Thought not!

Just for fun, can you think of any more predictions that never came to pass - or did - add your comment here (link to blog with pre-populated entry 'predicting the future is not always as easy as we might think - am I alone in remembering prophecies of paperless offices and too much leisure time by the year 2000? In relation to the changing labour market it is important to identify future trends, but just for fun, cast your minds back and share your memories of visions for the year 2000 and beyond - or even your own predictions for the year 2050- enjoy!)
So predicting the future isn't always easy. Nevertheless, it is possible to track some broad changes in the labour market, there will always be some examples that provide evidence to the contrary, but the major shifts are identified below.
