In this last case, the available workforce exceeded the needs for livestock farming.
These 10 selected companies operating across global markets represented a wide range of product portfolios from carpet tiles to toiletries, with combined revenues of over €6.75bn and global workforces exceeding 50,000 people.
Expanding by more than 760 jobs, the workforce now exceeds 4,500, and beer sales rose 17%, to $851 million.
The self-sufficiency scenarios extend the amount by which workforce demand exceeds supply relative to the comparison scenario; however, the impact is not as significant when compared with the results for doctors.
Both self-sufficiency scenarios result in workforce demand substantially exceeding workforce supply in 2025, by approximately 9,300 doctors for medium self-sufficiency and 15,200 under high self-sufficiency.
The comparison scenario indicates that if current trends and conditions were to continue into the future, the medical workforce would largely be sustainable without changes to policy settings, with workforce demand exceeding supply by approximately 2,700 doctors in 2025.
Unemployment is forecast to increase by 120,000 to 2.63m in 2013 because growth in the workforce will exceed the number of jobs being created, Philpott added.
During that time, the group says it found that dispatch, or temporary, workers made up more than 40% of the workforce, far exceeding the 10% limit set by Chinese law.
Even if that number grows no larger for the rest of the decade an extremely conservative estimate, most would say the additional number of STEM graduates in the overall workforce would exceed the 1 million goal set explicitly by the PCAST report and implicitly by TAP.
"What we need is legislation so that when there is a ballot for strike action... the number of people participating in the ballot, of the relevant workforce, has to exceed 50% of that relevant workforce before you can have a strike," he said.
