CHAPTER 1
A view from Friends Provident
Friends Provident is delighted to present the second of our ‘Visions of Britain 2020’ reports. Produced with the Future Foundation, we aim to paint an insightful and realistic picture of British society ten years from now.
In the second chapter of this, our first theme, we focus on the perspective of the worker in 2020 through the eyes of three groups: those over 55, new graduates and the ‘sandwich generation’ who are struggling to balance the twin demands of young children and ageing parents. We ask how the workplace will need to adapt to meet the needs of these workers and their very different circumstances.
We believe that these groups will face some of the biggest challenges in the workplace of the future. However, at Friends Provident, we also believe that with careful planning and consideration of the choices available to us, challenges can be made into opportunities. In this new decade, we have more freedom than ever before to shape our own destinies for the better.
We hope the fascinating insights within ‘Visions of Britain 2020’ will help guide you in these choices.
