This report by John Forth et al for the UKCES maps the current pattern of occupational regulation in the UK, focusing on three forms of legal regulation (licensing, certification and registration) and one form of voluntary regulation (accreditation) that has no legal backing or state involvement.
It reviews the theory regarding the operation and impact of occupational regulation, and examines the existing evidence on the impacts of occupational regulation in the UK and abroad.
It also provides initial estimates of the impact of occupational regulation on labour market outcomes such as skill levels, wages and employment in the UK.
