Possible Futures of IT Practitioner employment in Sweden
As for Germany and Ireland, Figure D-8 shows four scenarios for the development of the size of the IT
Practitioner workforce in Sweden, based on the Eurostat totals for Computing Professionals (ISCO 213)
and 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 the initial “trough”.
Table D-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.
