13 14 How the demand for skills has changed Economy-wide measures of routine and non-routine task input (US) 2009 edition of Education at a Glance Education Indicators Programme Mean task input as percentiles of the 1960 task distribution Routine manual Nonroutine manual Routine cognitive Nonroutine analytic Nonroutine interactive The dilemma 1990 of assessments: 2002 The skills that are easiest to teach and test are (Levy and Murnane) also the ones that are easiest to digitise, automate and outsource

14 15 Changing skill demands 2009 edition of Education at a Glance Education Indicators Programme The great collaborators and orchestrators The more complex the globalised world becomes, the more individuals and companies need various forms of co-ordination and management The great synthesisers Conventionally, our approach to problems was breaking them down into manageable bits and pieces, today we create value by synthesising disparate bits together The great explainers The more content we can search and access, the more important the filters and explainers become

They are capable not only of constantly adapting but also of constantly learning and growing The great personalisers A revival of interpersonal skills, skills that have atrhophied to some degree because of the industrial age and the Internet The great localisers Localising the global
