Throughout all the lectures, I couldn't help but notice the struggles all the professionals like Angela, Katie and Lewis faced in begining of the career. So, for me it is was important to research deeper into the UK fashion job market.
In a report by Oxford Economics commissioned by UKFT, it was found that UK fashion and textile industry can be categorised into “creating and making” and “distribution, retail and aftercare”.
Report shares data about number of jobs industry is creating for different groups of people:
- Nearly 200,000 jobs for young people under 25.
- Over 50,000 jobs for older adults aged 65 and above.
- More than half a million jobs for women.
And it's spread all across the UK:
- London has over 210,000 jobs.
- The North West has about 140,000 jobs.
- Yorkshire and the Humber region has around 120,000 jobs.
- The South West has roughly 110,000 jobs.
- Scotland has close to 100,000 jobs.
- Wales has over 56,000 jobs.
- Northern Ireland has approximately 40,000 jobs.
In particularly talking about design job roles, despite concerns about AI taking over jobs, it is observed that the number of designer's employed in fashion industry last year was increasing in comparison to previous years.
