Possible Futures of IT Practitioner employment in Ireland
As for Germany, Figure C-5 shows four scenarios for the development of the size of the IT Practitioner
workforce in Ireland, based on the Eurostat totals for Computing Professionals (ISCO 213) (Ireland
has submitted no data for Computer Associate Professionals (ISCO 312*)), based on assumptions
of employment growth at 2% p.a., 5% p.a., 10% p.a. and 15% p.a., subject to an initial trough. The
scenario model is described in Section 5.
Again, Table C-1 shows, for the four scenarios given, the Total (net) new supply of skilled manpower
that would be required to sustain that level of employment growth. It is recognized that the validity of
the assumptions – in particular about the shape of the initial “trough”, the “phasing” in relation to the
relevant national business cycle, and the level of replacement demand - would be refined as the first step
in deeper review analysis at the national level.
