Article Abstract:
The UK education system is basically very stable. Management of the system is necessary, but has its limits. Education should focus on identifying young people's latent talents and on blending the traditional world with new technologies.

Article Abstract:
The UK has been successful in bringing a high proportion of people of working age into the workforce. However, it has had less success in creating jobs that are flexible, rewarding and fun. The only way to boost levels of employment among people of working age even further is to make work more enjoyable. There are indications that good employers are becoming more aware of the need for a flexible approach to recruitment in an increasingly competitive business environment. Key employment trends for the medium term will include the blurring of distinctions between full- and part-time work.

Article Abstract:
It will become increasingly common in the future for people of working age to be knowledge workers, rather than just employees. If they work for a large employer, this employer will seek to control their knowledge by offering generous incentives. If they are self-employed, they will seek customers, rather than jobs. The UK government does not seem to have recognized this trend, and the entire structure of government is still based on the presumption that people earn their income in jobs. The current legislative and regulatory structure for employment will have become obsolete if more people are in self-employment than in formal jobs by 2050.
