16 Summary: UK economic prospects and policy implications In our main scenario, we project UK growth to continue at moderate rates of around 1.3% in 2018 and 1.6% in 2019 Europe and the rest of the world economy have strengthened, but the UK will lag behind in due to the drag on domestic demand from Brexit-related uncertainty. Rising interest rates in the US could also dampen global growth. A key factor behind the UK slowdown has been subdued consumer spending growth and we expect this to continue in Real incomes have been squeezed by higher inflation, and there are limits to how much further borrowing can rise to fund spending. 4 Real wage growth should return to modestly positive territory in 2019, but the boost to growth will be offset by slower jobs growth in that year. 5 The Bank of England is expected to continue with gradual interest rates rises over the next two years, but the Chancellor may ease fiscal policy somewhat in his Autumn Budget, in particular to help to fund the increased spending on the NHS announced in June.

29 The UK has experienced the slowest growth in the number of houses per household of similar international economies Houses per household Norway United Kingdom Australia New Zealand United States of America Finland Switzerland Ireland Source: ONS, analysis Note: We have assumed a constant household size to derive the number of households, using the latest household size figures from the UN. Over a longer period of time, average household size can change, though generally not by that much for mature advanced economies. ONS data shows, for example, that average household size in the UK has remained at around 2.4 since 1996.
30 Population growth rates in England are projected to decline, which could reduce pressure on house supply but does not eliminate the need for new homes given past under-supply 600, ,000 Source: ONS, analysis 400, , , , High - Low Population projection Population (Principal)
31 Summary: UK housing market outlook UK house price growth remained relatively resilient in 2017 despite a weakening economic backdrop, but has shown signs of moderating during the first half of 2018, particularly in London. We project a further softening of house price growth to around 3% in 2018 and we expect this to continue at a similar average rate in the medium term to This implies that the average UK house price would rise from 221,000 in 2017 to around 285,000 by We expect that most regions will experience moderate house price growth in 2018 broadly similar to the UK average, except for London, where we project that house prices could drop by nearly 2% compared with Our local analysis suggests a clear link between lack of new housing supply, relative to population growth, and local house price growth since The lack of new housing supply relative to population growth has been particularly marked in London. We estimate that around 110,000 additional homes would need to have been built between 2011 and 2016 to keep up with population growth. UK Economic Outlook March
32 Impact of AI and related technologies on jobs in the UK
33 We have weighed up the potential for AI to replace jobs (the displacement effect ) against the ability for AI to create jobs (through the income effect ) Displacement effect: humans lose jobs to AI/robots AI/robots become more costeffective than humans AI/robots save firms money, so firms lower prices Income effect: Lower prices increases real income and spending Firms hire more workers to produce the additional output Source: Note: our broad approach here is similar to that adopted for the US in a report by Oxford Economics and Cisco on The AI Paradox (December 2017). But the details are different as our key input assumptions derive from proprietary research and because their analysis assumes the net effect on jobs is zero, whereas we do not impose this constraint. AI is defined broadly here to include related technologies such as robotics, driverless vehicles, drones and other forms of smart automation. UK Economic Outlook July
34 We estimate that around 20% of existing UK jobs could be automated by 2037, but this could vary from around 5% to almost 40% across sectors Transportation and storage Manufacturing Wholesale and retail trade Financial and insurance activities Administrative and support service activities Public administration and defence All sectors Information and communication Professional, scientific and technical activities Accommodation and food service activities Construction Other sectors Human health and social work activities Education 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% Jobs estimated to actually be displaced Jobs at potential risk of displacement Source: analysis using data from the OECD PIAAC survey UK Economic Outlook July
35 We estimate that AI and related technologies could also create an additional 20% of jobs by 2037, but this could vary across sectors from below 10% to nearly 35% Human health and social work activities Professional, scientific and technical activities UK Economic Outlook Information and communication Wholesale and retail trade Administrative and support service activities Accommodation and food service activities All sectors Financial and insurance activities Transportation and storage Other sectors Construction Education Manufacturing Public administration and defence Source: analysis 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% Note: In our Sizing the Prize report we estimated that AI and related technologies could boost UK GDP by around 10% by For this article we have converted this value into jobs numbers by, first, projecting UK output (GVA) growth by industry sector over the next 20 years, and second, estimating the proportion of GVA growth that is attributable to AI (as implied by estimates in our Sizing the Prize report). We assume here that the projected increase in jobs due to the income effect will be the same as the projected increase in GVA since productivity effects are captured through the displacement effect. July
36 The net effect of AI on jobs by 2037 is estimated to be broadly neutral: c.20% displacement vs c.20% creation Net effect of AI on jobs (000s) Net effect of AI on jobs (%) +7.2m Income effect +20% Income effect +0.2m Net effect 0% Net effect -7.0m Displacement effect -20% Displacement effect Source: analysis UK Economic Outlook July
37 The healthcare sector is estimated to see significant net job gains from AI, while other sectors such as transport and manufacturing could see net job losses 0% Income effect 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% -5% -10% Education Net job gains Human health and social work activities Displacement effect -15% -20% -25% -30% -35% -40% Construction Public administration and defence; compulsory social security Manufacturing Net job losses Other sectors Financial and insurance activities Transportation and storage Accommodation and food service activities Information and communication Administrative and support service activities Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles Professional, scientific and technical activities -45% Source: analysis UK Economic Outlook July
38 The estimated net effect of AI on jobs by industry sector implies a small positive impact in London (c.2%) and marginally negative impacts in the North and Midlands based on differences in their industry structures Source: analysis Note: The relatively small regional differences are what we would expect given that we are only looking at the effect of variations in industry structure across regions. In practice, there will also be variations due to other task characteristics of jobs within a particular sector that vary by region UK Economic Outlook July
39 Although our central estimate is that the net jobs impact of AI will be broadly neutral, our two alternative scenarios illustrate the uncertainties around any such estimates Net effect of AI on jobs in each scenario (000s) Net effect of AI on jobs in each scenario (%) +3.7m Optimistic +11% Optimistic +0.2m Central 0% Central -3.3m Pessimistic -9% Pessimistic Source: analysis UK Economic Outlook July
40 Government has an important role in steering the economy towards a more optimistic scenario in relation to AI Mitigating job displacement Government should invest more in developing STEAM* skills that will be most useful to people in this increasingly automated world Government should continue to work with business, unions and educational providers to establish a national retraining programme for workers displaced by new technologies Government should strengthen the safety net for those who find it hard to adjust to technological changes Maximising job creation Place-based industrial strategy should target job creation Government should implement its AI strategy in full Government should promote effective competition to ensure that productivity gains from AI are passed through to consumers *STEAM = science, technology, engineering, arts & design, and maths UK Economic Outlook July
41 Summary: Net impact of AI and related technologies on jobs in the UK AI and related technologies such as robotics, drones and driverless vehicles could displace many jobs formerly done by humans, but they will also create many additional jobs as productivity and real incomes rise and new and better products are developed. We estimate that these countervailing displacement and income effects are likely to broadly balance each other out over the next 20 years in the UK, with the share of existing jobs displaced by AI (c.20%) likely to be approximately equal to the additional jobs that are created (c.20%). The sectors that we estimate will see the largest net increase in jobs in the long run due to AI include health (+22%), professional, scientific and technical services (+16%) and education (+6%). The sectors estimated to see the largest net decrease in jobs due to AI include manufacturing (-25%), transport (-22%) and public administration (-18%). Based on differences in industry structure alone, our projections do not imply large variations by region, with just a small net job gain in London offset by small net losses in the North and Midlands. But other factors could lead to larger regional variations than captured by our analysis. Our central estimate is that the net effect of AI on jobs will be broadly neutral, but there are many uncertain factors that could tip the balance towards more optimistic or pessimistic scenarios. We identify some policy areas where action could help to maximise the benefits and/or mitigate the costs in terms of impacts from AI on jobs. UK Economic Outlook March
