What are the key factors shaping skills trajectories of the future?This Handbook provides an authoritative consideration of issues such these. It does so by drawing on experts in a wide range of disciplines including sociology, economics, labour/industrial relations, human resource management, education, and geography. The Handbook is relevant for all with aninterest in the changing nature, and future, of work, employment and management.
