This report was part of a programme on the future of the UK labour market in association with the UK Commission for Employment and Skills. Improving skills among the workforce is seen as fundamental to achieving a more competitive economy and maintaining productivity, with a world-class skills base considered a key driver of competitive advantage (BIS, 2010). This report uses data from the British Household Panel Survey to investigate how projected improvements in skills levels in the United Kingdom economy between now and 2020 will affect rates of poverty and income inequality.
