The Future of Non-Market Professions by 2030

The Faculty of Informatics and Statistics has published a new study by the Department of Economic Statistics, which analyses the supply and demand on the labour market in selected non-market professions, namely general nurses, doctors, dentists, teachers and public administration workers. The study shows that a key issue will be the ageing workforce and rising demand, particularly in the health sector.

For example, general nurses may face a shortage of up to 5 000 workers by 2030, with a need to double the number of graduates. For doctors, the situation is particularly critical in the outpatient sector, where more than 40 % of doctors are already over 60 years old. In contrast, the situation in dentistry can serve as an example of good practice – the field is gradually rejuvenating thanks to the recruitment of graduates from abroad.

The study was created as a basis for more in-depth research into the work preferences of the young Generation Z and also provides recommendations for education policy and personnel planning.
