The Government’s 80% Employment Rate Target: Lessons from History and Abroad

Economic

Summary:

How can the UK achieve an 80% employment rate? What lessons can we learn from history and other countries?

The government’s recent ‘Get Britain Working’ white paper restated their ambitious target to get 80% of 16-64-year-olds into work. According to official statistics, around 75% of 16-64-year-olds are in work, so hitting this target would mean 5% of 16-64-year-olds moving into work, around 2.2 million people.

For the government, moving 2.2 million people into work would likely reduce current fiscal headaches by increasing tax revenue and reducing welfare spending. The extent of the savings would depend on who is brought into work. OBR estimates suggest that moving 400,000 people who are out of work due to ill health into work could save around £10 billion through higher tax revenue and lower benefit spending. For a sense of scale, raising the basic rate of income tax would raise approximately £6 billion.

Increased employment rates could also benefit many people. There are 3.3 million 16-64-year-olds who are not in work but say they would like to be. Bringing some of this group into work would make significant progress towards the government’s target. There are a further 7.4 million 16-64-year-olds who are neither working nor want to work. It is worth remembering that raising the employment rate is not an unalloyed good: many of this 7.4 million are studying full-time, or are doing unpaid care work, or simply prefer a lower income out of work than the higher income they could achieve in work. And for others work may not even be possible, particularly for those with significant disabilities. However, the government may be able to remove some of the barriers to work for some in this group of 7.4 million potential workers too.

How might the government achieve its aim? The rest of this piece explores what we can learn from history and international examples.

Lessons from recent history

Table 1 shows that employment rates increased substantially in the fifteen years before the pandemic. Employment rates initially fell from 73% in 2004 to 70% in 2009 due to the financial crisis, but then grew strongly to reach 76% in 2019. Almost all the increase in employment rates since 2004 is due to rising employment rates for women. Between 2004 and 2019, the female employment rate increased from 66% to 72%, while the male employment rate only increased slightly from 79% to 80%.

Two trends explain most of the improvement in employment rates. First, many women who previously had been out of work due to caring responsibilities in the home moved into work. Second, fewer people were out of the workforce due to retirement, partially due to the increase in state pension age for women from 60 in 2009 to 65 in 2019 (and then 66 in 2020).

Since 2019, we have seen weaker performance in employment rates. Official statistics suggest that the employment rate has fallen by around 1 percentage point since 2019, primarily due to an increase in people who are not looking for work due to long-term illness – from 5.0% to 6.6% of 16–64-year-olds. Alongside this, there has been a dramatic rise in the health-related benefits caseload from 7.5% of the working age population in 2019 to 10% in 2023. Not all health-related benefit claimants report being out of work due to ill health. Some claimants work (around 15%), and some claimants report not working for other reasons. The causes of this rise in health-related inactivity and claims to health-related benefits remain unclear.

That said, there are serious concerns about the post-pandemic Labour Force Survey, on which employment and economic inactivity statistics are based. Alternative sources suggest the employment rate has returned to its pre-pandemic peak of 76% rather than falling to 75%. Even if this is true, it represents a slowing of employment growth relative to pre-pandemic trends.

The Government’s 80% Employment Rate Target: Lessons from History and Abroad_1

Going forward, the Government cannot count on the strong employment rate growth of the 2010s returning. The fall in unemployment during the 2010s is unlikely to be replicated, as we are already at close to record low levels of unemployment. There were big changes in the state pension ages for women aged 60-64 in the 2010s which will not occur again in the next decade. The trend towards fewer people (mostly women) not working due to caring responsibilities has continued through the pandemic, so this may be one trend which continues to push employment up – though the rate of inactivity due to caring responsibilities has reached very low levels so there is a limit to how much further declines can realistically contribute. Moreover, if the rise in inactivity due to ill health continues that will put downward pressure on the employment rate; in such a scenario it would be difficult for the government to achieve its 80% employment rate target without policy intervention.

One constant over the last twenty years is significant geographic differences in employment rates. Figure 1 shows employment rates across different local authorities in Great Britain. Almost a third of local authorities already have employment rates of 80%, while one in six have employment rates below 70%. These differences are the result of both differences in population characteristics across areas and the jobs on offer across areas. Bringing employment rates in the bottom half of authorities up to the average (median) would increase the employment rate by around 3 percentage points - more than half of what is required to hit the government’s target.

Lessons from abroad

One way to find a path to an 80% employment rate is to learn from the four countries who have already achieved it. Figure 2 shows that the UK currently sits towards the top of the international employment rate league table. But there remains a sizeable gap between the UK’s employment rate of 75% and the top four countries who have achieved an 80% employment rate: Iceland, Netherlands, New Zealand and Switzerland (referred to from now on as frontier countries). So, how have they achieved this?

The Government’s 80% Employment Rate Target: Lessons from History and Abroad_3

Two age groups - 15-24-year-olds and 55-64-year-olds - can explain most of the difference in employment rates between the UK and the frontier countries. Figure 3 shows employment rates in the UK and the average for the four frontier countries by age and gender. While the UK employment rate for people aged 25-54-year-olds is close to the frontier, only 53% of 15-24-year-olds are employed in the UK relative to 68% in the frontier countries, a 15 percentage point gap. Similarly, 65% of 55-64-year-olds are employed in the UK relative to 77% in the frontier countries. The employment rate gaps for 15-24-year-olds and 55-64-year-olds together explain three quarters of the difference in employment rates between the UK and the frontier countries. This suggests that the most plausible route to an 80% employment rate involves increasing employment rates for older and younger workers. I discuss employment rates for older and younger workers in more detail in the following sections.

The Government’s 80% Employment Rate Target: Lessons from History and Abroad_4

In contrast to the big differences in employment profiles by age, the gender employment gap is similar in the UK and in the frontier countries. In the UK, 71.9% of working age women are employed compared to 78.4% of working age men (a 6.6 percentage points gender employment gap). In the frontier countries, 78.3% of women are employed, compared to 85.0% of men (6.8ppts difference). Of the four frontier countries, only Iceland has a smaller gender employment gap than the UK. Closing the gender employment gap in the UK would be a big step to the 80% employment rate target but would not take the UK all the way. International examples suggest that the UK will likely need to raise employment rates for men and women, if it wants to hit the 80% target.

Why is employment lower for people near retirement ages in the UK relative to the frontier?

Table 2 shows employment rates near retirement age and normal retirement ages (the age at which you can claim a full state pension) in the different countries. In all five countries the normal retirement age is over 64, so differences in normal retirement ages are unlikely to explain the difference in employment rates. It also shows that the employment gap between the UK and the frontier countries is already wide for 55–59-year-olds, more than five years before normal retirement age.

The Government’s 80% Employment Rate Target: Lessons from History and Abroad_5

Instead, ill health and early retirement are likely to be the two key reasons for lower employment at older ages in the UK than in the frontier countries. Two-thirds of 50–64-year-olds who are not working have either taken early retirement or are not working due to ill health. Official statistics suggest that the rise in people not working due to ill health has been particularly stark for 55-64-year-olds. 11.3% of 55–64-year-olds were inactive due to ill health in 2023, up from 8.9% in 2019. If the government wants to increase employment for older people, it will likely need to take measures that reduce the number of people not working due to ill-health or encourage people not to take early retirement.

History suggests higher employment rates for older people (and particularly men) are possible. In 1975, 86% of men aged 50-64 were employed – compared to 75% now, despite significant improvements in life expectancy since 1975 (Banks, Emmerson and Tetlow, 2019).

Why is employment lower for young people in the UK relative to frontier countries?

When considering employment rates for young people, it is useful to separately consider young people in and out of education. Figure 4 shows employment rates for 15–24-year-olds for the UK and the four frontier countries in 2019 and 2023 by whether they are in education. Interestingly, the UK stands out for having low employment rates amongst young people in education. In 2023, 41% of 15-24-year-olds in education in the UK were in employment, compared to 59% on average across the frontier countries and over 70% in the Netherlands. This partly reflects differences in the education systems. In the Netherlands, 69% of students in upper secondary education (typically 15–19-year-olds) are engaged in vocational education, which typically involves 4 days in the place of education and 1 day in the workplace. The government may be able to make changes to the education system to encourage more people to work while studying, although naturally this comes with potential trade-offs with longer-term outcomes.

The Government’s 80% Employment Rate Target: Lessons from History and Abroad_6

The UK also has lower employment rates for young people not in education, but the gaps here are smaller. 74% of 15-24-year-olds who are out of education are in work in the UK, compared to 82% on average across the frontier countries. Nevertheless, this may be a particular concern to the government as young people in education are likely to transition into productive work in future, whereas spending a significant amount of time not in education, employment or training as a young person may result in lasting scarring effects on future life outcomes. A particularly worrying trend in the UK is the increase in 18-24-year olds stating that they are not working due to ill health- from 143,000 in 2019 to 193,000 in 2023, and the related increase in young people claiming health-related benefits. Finding a way to support these young people into work could improve their future life outcomes and make significant fiscal savings.

How could the government achieve its employment target?

There are many ways the government could try to increase employment. This analysis suggests the most plausible route to an 80% employment rate involves improving employment rates for those at the beginning and end of their careers, reducing the number of people not working due to ill health, and reducing geographic inequalities in employment rates.

The government’s ‘Get Britain Working’ white paper sets out a diagnosis of the barriers to higher employment that broadly matches this analysis. They include a range of policies to try tackle these barriers including health interventions aimed at reducing health-related inactivity and a youth guarantee, which sets the aim that all 18–21-year-olds should be in education or employment. However, relative to the ambitious aim to get 2.2 million more people into work, the funding was fairly modest (£240m) and much of it devolved to a selection of ‘trailblazer’ areas. While there is a case for trialling interventions to test whether they are effective, the government will likely need to scale up interventions for them to result in significant progress towards their ambition. And of course, much of this is simply outside direct policy control: macroeconomic shocks, or changing norms around parents or women in work, or changes to the labour market from AI could all make the target much easier – or harder – to meet.

To conclude the year, tariffs have once again become a focal point, with Google searches for the term spiking in November and December. The Federal Reserve is also paying close attention, as Chair Powell mentioned the potential inflationary effects of tariffs as a reason some FOMC members might have raised their inflation forecasts for the coming year and increased the perceived upside risks to prices. The lessons from the "Trade War 1.0" of 2018 and 2019 remain relevant. There is much more tariff talk than tariff action, which does not mean that markets don’t react negatively in the short-term, but does mean that investors need to separate the signal from the noise. In 2025, as tariffs fluctuate in the headlines, market opportunities may arise when tariff implementation and consequences are mispriced.

The "Trade War" of 2018 and 2019 serves as a template for a potential "Trade War 2.0," offering four key lessons:

Tariff talk noise rises but eventually subsides: We may see a repeat of escalating tariff threats, but the likelihood of most being implemented is low. In 2018-2019, many tariffs were threatened on major trading partners, with estimates suggesting the average tariff rate on all U.S. imports could rise from 1.4% to over 11% if all were implemented. Some tariffs were enacted (on washing machines, solar panels, steel, aluminum and Chinese goods), raising the average tariff rate by 2020 but only to 2.8%. Negotiations around immigration and defense spending granted many countries a reprieve. Investors should moderate their fears of significant tariff increases, currently projected to reach 17.7% by the Tax Foundation (assuming 20% universal tariffs and 60% tariffs on all Chinese goods).

Even tariff threats can rock markets – in the short-term: Likely to see a repeat of the “stronger dollar for longer” move. In 2018, the U.S. dollar index appreciated a maximum 10% around tariff announcement windows and almost 5% again in 2019. Given the forward looking nature of markets, global equities (including the U.S.) had a negative year in 2018, with multiples contracting at least 20% that year.

There is an important signal from the Trade War: Despite limited surface changes, there was a significant shift in tariffs on Chinese imports: from 2.7% in 2017 to 9.8% in 2020. Supply chains have been dramatically restructured since the first Trade War, with the percentage of total U.S. imports from China dropping from 21% in 2017 to 14% today, while imports from Mexico and Southeast Asia have surged. Despite the U.S.-China Phase I trade deal of 2020, China has shifted its imports, with U.S. imports decreasing in representation and those of agriculture-producing Emerging Markets surging. Tariffs on Chinese goods are likely to increase further, turbocharging this reorganization of supply chains.

Investment opportunities arise amidst tariff-related volatility: After a challenging 2018, global equities rebounded impressively in 2019, with the U.S. +32%, Europe +26% and emerging markets +19%, led by multiple expansion. As reality proves less harsh than feared, short-term sell-offs tend to be short-lived. This includes international markets that may face tariff threats early next year but could eventually see a reprieve. This includes Europe and Mexico, which were under fire previously but saw no tariff changes and Southeast Asia, a significant beneficiary of "friendshoring." While fears about tariffs boosting U.S. inflation may exert upward pressure on yields, the scale and scope of tariffs are unlikely to alter the U.S. inflation normalization theme.

Some tariff talk is noise, some is important signal

Central Bank

Major central banks may further adjust monetary policy in 2025 as the European Central Bank (ECB) insists that ‘the disinflation process is well on track,’ but the Federal Reserve may change gears at a slower pace as Chairman Jerome Powell and Co. forecast less rate-cuts for next year.

North America

Federal Reserve

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) acknowledged that ‘our policy stance is now significantly less restrictive’ after lowering US interest rates by another 25bp at its last meeting for 2024, with the central bank going onto say that ‘we can therefore be more cautious as we consider further adjustments to our policy rate.’

It seems as though the FOMC will say on track to further unwind its restrictive policy in 2025, but the committee may continue to adjust its forward guidance as the update to the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) shows that ‘the median participant projects that the appropriate level of the federal funds rate will be 3.9% at the end of next year’ compared to the 3.4% forecast at the September meeting.

In turn, speculation surrounding Fed policy may continue to sway foreign exchange markets as Chairman Powell and Co. insist that ‘monetary policy will adjust in order to best promote our maximum employment and price stability goals,’ and the US Dollar may outperform against its major counterparts in 2025 should the FOMC show a greater willingness to further combat inflation.

Europe

European Central Bank

The European Central Bank (ECB) lowered Euro Area interest rates by 25bp in December, and the Governing Council may continue to shift gears in 2025 as ‘most measures of underlying inflation suggest that inflation will settle at around our two per cent medium-term target on a sustained basis.’

It seems as though the ECB will stick to its rate-cutting cycle as the ‘staff now expect a slower economic recovery than in the September projections,’ and the Governing Council may unwind its restrictive policy at a faster pace as President Christine Lagarde reveals that ‘there were some discussions, with some proposals to consider possibly 50 basis points.’

As a result, the Governing Council may sound increasingly dovish in 2025 as ‘underlying inflation is overall developing in line with a sustained return of inflation to target,’ and it remains to be seen if the ECB will reach its neutral rate ahead of its US counterpart amid the upward revision in the Fed’s interest rate dot-plot.

Keep in mind, EUR/USD continues to hold below pre-US election rates after registering a fresh yearly low (1.0333) in November, and a weekly close below the 1.0370 (38.2% Fibonacci extension) to 1.0410 (50% Fibonacci retracement) region may push the exchange rate towards 1.0200 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement).

Next area of interest comes in around 0.9910 (78.6% Fibonacci retracement) to 0.9950 (50% Fibonacci extension), but EUR/USD may track the flattening slope in the 50-Week SMA (1.0824) if it continues to hold above 1.0200 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement).

Need a weekly close above 1.0610 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement) to bring the 1.0870 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement) to 1.0940 (50% Fibonacci retracement) zone on the radar, with the next region of interest coming in around 1.1070 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement) to 1.1090 (38.2% Fibonacci extension).

Asia/Pacific

Bank of Japan

Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) voted 8 to 1 to keep the benchmark interest rate around 0.25% in December, and the central bank may retain the current policy over the coming months as ‘underlying CPI inflation is expected to increase gradually.’

As a result, the Japanese Yen may continue to service as a funding-currency as the BoJ remains reluctant to pursue a rate-hike cycle, but Governor Kazuo Ueda and Co. may come under pressure to implement higher interest rates as ‘Japan's economy is likely to keep growing at a pace above its potential growth rate.’

With that said, the carry-trade may further unwind in 2025 should the BoJ adopt a hawkish guidance, and the Japanese Yen may face increases volatility over the coming months as major central banks continue to change gears.

USD/JPY trades back above pre-US election rates as it pushes above the November high (156.75), with a breach above 160.40 (1990 high) opening up the 2024 high (161.95).

Next region of interest comes in around the December 1986 high (163.95), but lack of momentum to close above 160.40 (1990 high) on a weekly basis may keep USD/JPY within the 2024 range.

Need a weekly close below 156.50 (78.6% Fibonacci extension) to bring 153.80 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement) on the radar, with the next area of interest coming in around 148.70 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement) to 150.30 (61.8% Fibonacci extension).

Goldman Sachs

Economic

The pace of mergers and acquisitions around the world gained momentum this year, and there are signs that deal-making will accelerate in 2025, say Stephan Feldgoise and Mark Sorrell, the co-heads of the global mergers and acquisitions business in Goldman Sachs Global Banking & Markets.

There’s been a “gradual crescendo of factors” behind the rise in acquisitions, Feldgoise says in an episode of Goldman Sachs Exchanges. Those factors include: a decline in borrowing costs, a drive from private equity sponsors to return capital to their limited partner (LP) investors, and corporate repositioning in the form of strategic dealmaking. While the uncertainty from a rush of major elections around the world sparked market volatility, deal activity increased about 10% this year and may rise by a similar percentage in 2025, he says.

The conditions for private equity activity are becoming more solid. Historically, those deals have comprised almost 40% of the market for acquisitions, but recently it’s been closer to 20-30%, Feldgoise says. Part of the reason for the decline is that it’s been more challenging to sell and monetize business and return to the market. IPOs have been more constrained, but that may be changing.

Global Deal-making is Expected to Gain Momentum in 2025_1

“For sponsors to feel the confidence to put their assets into the market — the dual track, as we call it, which is equally pursuing an IPO at the same time as M&A — is a very powerful tool,” he says.

Interest rates have declined, but there’s been some “psychological adjustment” in markets because rates had been so low following the financial crisis, Feldgoise says. Private equity sponsors benefited from rock-bottom rates and have had to adjust their models as valuations conform to a different paradigm.

“The world got used to free money for well over a decade,” he says. “If you look at the level of absolute rates now, it's still relatively low if you look over 30 years or 40 years or 50 years.”

Will private equity deals increase in 2025?

At the same time, private equity firms are deploying capital, after a decline, at a rate closer to historical average, Sorrell says.

“There's a good number of firms saying their rate of deployment is on plan or even slightly ahead of plan versus where they were at the beginning of the year,” he says. A substantial amount of that capital is going into deals to take public companies private. Private equity exits, meanwhile, are well below historical levels.

“That is the place, I think, in 2025 where we're watching very closely as valuation gaps close,” Sorrell says. It will be important to monitor the state of the IPO market and rate of exit transactions, which he says will be key to unlocking more deal activity.

“The big difference from this time last year is how quickly the rate of deployment has improved both in traditional private equity and infrastructure,” he says. “Digital infrastructure is a great example where there's been an incredibly active deployment of capital around the world.”

Feldgoise says they spend a lot of time in boardrooms talking about how generative AI will ripple through the economy. It’s a topic that touches on everything from semiconductors to real estate and to the additional power needed for data centers. While it’s not likely to be a major part of the market for acquisitions, the environment may change as AI matures and it becomes clearer how to value these companies.

“It may evolve into more of an M&A market once the companies and the winners become clearer,” he says.

How will the US election impact M&A?

Though election uncertainty caused an increase in market volatility, corporate executives tend to take a very long perspective. “Boards think in decades,” Feldgoise says. While an administration’s policies and the economic cycle have an impact in the shorter run, they tend to have less of an impact in overall, long-term strategic activity.

“Businesses are generational, multi-decade, and people are thinking that way," he adds. "That's why we remain bullish on M&A regardless of geopolitical or regulatory or electoral situations.”

European mergers and acquisitions increased sharply in 2024 after a muted year for deals in 2023 amid slow economic growth, Sorrell says. “Within the space of a few months, we've gone to a very much more normal rate of dealmaking in Europe,” he says. He points out that there has been a wave of transactions among financial companies and an increase in deals taking public companies private.

Australian dealmaking has rebounded in a similar fashion to that of Europe, Sorrell says. “The other bright spots in Asia are India, which remains very, very strategic for many of our clients, both corporate and private equity, and Japan as well,” he says.

Transactions in China have yet to accelerate amid slower economic growth. “With that exception, my own view is that Asia is trending in the direction Europe has been trending,” he says. “It's just running a few months behind in terms of the general trajectory.”

Feldgoise says the US, meanwhile, has benefited from perceived stability, energy supply, and onshoring of manufacturing and investment from the government in certain sectors. He says there’s been an “incredible focus” from companies looking to tap into the growth in the US.

Healthcare M&A has growing momentum

Acquisitions among healthcare companies grew last year, and Feldgoise says that momentum will likely continue in 2025. Technology and consumer firms have also been among the sectors looking for growth through dealmaking. Large energy companies have been acquiring inventory in a major, multi-year wave of consolidation.

“Scale is increasingly more important,” he says. “Scale across geography for diversification of supply chains and manufacturing. Scale across products for being able to understand where growth might be and being able to capture those market opportunities. Scale for financing and balance sheet heft in stormy financing or capital markets.”

The main question now is the rate of dealmaking growth in 2025, Sorrell says. “The next 12 months will be a better environment for, particularly, large deal making activity than the previous 12 months, because of [the] risk appetite, financing environment, regulatory conditions, geopolitical conditions,” he says.
