Work and Skills in the Telecommunications Industry

Owen Darbishire

Chapter 10.1 in Emerging Digital Spaces in Contemporary Society, 2010, pp 245-246 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The telecommunications industry has been transformed over the past 25 years. The switch from an analogue to digital and now IP-based architecture has created the core infrastructure of the information age. This is reflected in the growth in the share of national income it represents, from 2.3 to 3.0 percent in Britain. As a bellwether industry, it provides critical insights into the impact on society concerning changes in employment, its distribution among occupations, including technicians, and changing patterns of skills.
