The return of Jeeves?

Is our current economic and employment structure going to be enough to sustain the growth of the UK in the years to come?

Currently the public and private commercial sectors support the majority of the financial growth but we’re wondering whether we will see a trend of ‘people-employing-people’ (PEP) to help support the system.

With the increases in population would we ever get to the point that there just aren’t enough jobs for everyone? Even though we all strive for better education and healthcare perhaps it would get to the point whereby a percentage of the population would end up work for the ‘people’ rather than organisations.

This trend already exists with many more career driven couples using nannies to look after their children whilst at work. People are using at-home chefs for dinner parties and even a handyman. These types of roles have been around for centuries but as we have developed they have remained only for the richest of society. How long would it be before these luxuries become everyday to ensure economic success and the elimination of unemployment?

Would we see a new modern-day-extended-family style of employment coming directly from the people to support the economy?
