This report presents the final results of a future-oriented sector study on innovation, skills and jobs in the furniture sector. The report is part of a series commissioned by the European Commission (Directorate-General Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities) and undertaken during the period January 2008-April 2009 by a consortium led by TNO (Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research) and consisting of TNO, SEOR, a consultancy of Erasmus University (Rotterdam, the Netherlands) and ZSI (Centre for Social Innovation, Vienna, Austria). While the main focus of the study is on the future of skills and jobs by 2020, the study is both backward- and forward-looking in nature. It analyses recent relevant sector developments and trends and, at the same time, depicts the current state of play in the sector with an emphasis on innovation, skills and jobs. Current trends and developments form the stepping stone and fundament for the second and third future-oriented part of the study which is scenario-based, forward-looking and exploratory in nature.
