About the lecture

In this lecture, we discuss the evolution of the UK economy and the pivotal role of technological advancements in shaping labour markets and productivity. We begin by (i) illustrating the likelihoods of occupations based on one’s birth-year and birthplace, before (ii) understanding how productivity in different economic sectors has shifted and improved in the last 100 years in the UK.
