6. Need for workers and apprentices by location
◼ Our modelling results for UK employment required under the house-building target and net zero path can be split into three main categories: expand output; replace retirees; and replace leavers and changes in roles ◼ Our modelling estimates have been split by geography using a range of inputs, including current construction employment and activity, housing targets and dwelling stock ◼ The total employment requirement in the construction sector to reach targets totals 202,000 in London over the next decade; the largest need of the ten geographies studied. That equates to 16% of the 1.3 million need across the UK. Scotland’s requirements are just behind, at 96,000 over the next decade ◼ London will need at least 55,000 qualified construction apprentices over the next 10 years to unlock the potential to hit housebuilding and net zero targets and to replace leavers. Scotland will require a slightly lower 26,000
